This week we had tech arts. For tech arts we had art and last term we had music. I enjoyed music. my favourite part of music was the dance at the end of music. last term we learnt lots of stuff. We tried out playing Instruments like key board
Drums and Guitar. I learnt lots about key board, but nothing about Drums, because it was so easy and I already play the drums. Then in Term 2 we were off to Art. First we did clay work and made a single clay jandal. Then under, and over glazed it, except I was ahead so I did 2. Then we were onto drawing art. Which has been my favourite part so far. I am proud of my effort, and the work of art I have made so far and it can only get better. We have also just made the finishing touches to our shine wall. do you like it? See you soon.
Sunday: I wake up pack my bus bag and are ready to go so I yell out, come on mum we need to get going. I'm excited not for the eight our bus ride! but for when we finally got there, I had no idea what to expect. They said there was a jumping matt so I thought something the size of a trampoline just lower to the ground but instead it was probably ten metres long and three metres wide. When we got there you would never guess this, I hopped straight on, it was really fun. We had about one hour of free time then it was dinner. After dinner we played cards and went to bed.
Monday: I started the day with a game of cards with Bert then went had breakfast and packed my lunch ready for another day of fun. The first activity was Zealandia, it wasn't my favourite place but it was a pretty cool experience and there was lots of pretty cool animals there to see. Next stop was Te Papa and it would have been cool if we had more time and if Hayden and Cheng-Yu didn't want to move on every ten seconds. Then it was national library which I didn't really like partly because I had really saw legs and we were mostly standing and partly because I found it boring. Then it was onto the pools I had been waiting for this all day and it did not let me down. It turned out to be one of my highlights and I had a great time. after that it was jumping matt dinner then bed.
Tuesday: Again I started the day with a game of cards with Bert and won for the fourth time on camp. We had breakfast then hit the road to carter observatory where we watched a cool video, where the video was on the domed roof above us. I enjoyed the video, then we were off to the cable cars it was pretty much just a really slow ride down a hill. Then we hopped off and walked to parliament there was lots of security there was even a metal detector like in the airport when you go through customs. We went and watched all the members of parliament argue. while one person was making a speech there was jeers and all sorts from the rest of them, while others couldn't care less and were playing candy crush on their phone. after that we went and made a movie at capital e if you want to see it is underneath this post I really enjoyed it, I was vision mixer.
Wednesday: For the third time this week I started the day with a game of cards which I won, again Then we headed off to Wellington Zoo which was pretty cool and I enjoyed it. We saw everything from chimpanzee's to penguins which was probably my favourite animal at the zoo. after that I also got some really cool souvenirs like a little puppet penguin and a snap band. then it was off to snorkelling which was tied for first on my list. I didn't want to get into the water at first because it was too cold but I got used to it and ended up having a great time seeing decent sized fish up to fifty centimetres long with great colourful colours. Then we went to an aquarium we had a great time, I saw a seahorse and held all sorts of starfish related stuff and an octopus squirted Mrs Crowe in the face, nobody will ever forget that.
Thursday: On Thursday we went to the holocaust centre and I found that really boring and that was my least favourite activity and if you happen to know me you would know I don't appreciate sitting and listening. Next it was Museum of Wellington where I think they had a good idea by teaching us about something by letting us re-enact it which I think is much better than sitting and listening you'll win my favour every time like that. Then we went to media lab and made our own apps and once I got the hang of it I thought it was pretty cool I made an app where you pat the kitty and it meows, an app where you can draw with six different colours installed and a fortune teller app.
Friday: On Friday we woke up at six and started on the eight hour trip home stopping half way for a yummy lunch I had a pie a fizzy and a slice. When we got back I was tired but would have done it all again if I had the chance.
