Wellington Camp 2015

I'm back from camp but I really want to go back because it was so much fun. My favourite activity was Snorkeling because i have never done it before and i loved seeing all the see wild life my favourite fish was this silver and blue fish that followed us around when we were snorkeling. 

Sunday

On Sunday I arrived at school at around 8:15 and dropped all my stuff of so it could be put on the bus. We left school once everyone had arrived and that was about 9:30. Our 8 hour bus drive wasn't the best way to spend my Sunday but on the way down Caitlin and I finished a Mansion Mystery game on the Ipad that was pretty fun to do. We finally got to Wellington at about 6:30 and by then I really just wanted to sleep.I couldn't wait for the next few days at camp.

Monday
On Monday we went to Zealandia, Te Papa, World War One National library and H2OExtreme Zealandia is a protected wildlife park with endangered species and almost extinct animals I really liked patting a Tuatara  because I have never done that before the Tuatara skin was soft and not scaly at all. Te Papa was cool I loved looking at the Giant Squid it's MASSIVE and also all the old artifacts that are stored there are amazing.The WW1 library was a bit boring and I didn't really have fun there mostly because some of the things that our guide said was really confusing, and I didn't get it. H2O Extreme was so much fun we jumped into the pool went around the lazy river swum through the waves in the wave pool went down the hydro slides and down a slide that went straight down the splashed you so much when you landed at the bottom.Camp we went and that night i couldn't sleep I was still extremely excited.

My FAVOURITE slide!!!!

Tuesday

On Tuesday we went to the Carter Observatory, on the Cable Car, we meet Barbara Kruiger the Taranaki/King Country MP at Parliament, and went to Capital E. The Carter Observatory was cool I really liked the part where we laid on chairs and looked at the stars I almost fell asleep!! Then we went on the Cable Car I was really looking forward to it but when we hopped on and left the station It wasn't what I thought it was I thought it was going to be fast and go further than 150 metres but that's ok it was still a cool experience.We then went to Parliament and meet Andrew Little and Barbara Kruiger, while we were at Parliament we went into the house during question time that was hilarious because everyone was yelling at each other.After Parliament we went to Capital E and my group went to the media studios and made 3D movies and that was so much fun.I couldn't wait till our next turn at the ONTV part of the studio.Then it was back to camp and as soon as we got there I went straight to the jumping mat and got sand all done my back.

Wednesday

On Tuesday we went to the Zoo and Snorkeling. The Zoo was fun I saw a baby Chimpanzee that looked like a human and a Yellow Eyed Penguin being operated on this penguin wasn't from the zoo it was from the wild and had broken its flipper and had a scratch in its eye. I still think that Auckland Zoo is better because it has way more animals to look at and learn about.Then it was off to snorkeling I was so nervous because I was scared about drowning and not being able to breath properly but in the end I was fine and I loved it I saw so many animals and my favourite two The Snake Starfish and a Blue and Silver Fish that Followed Arden and I around the whole time.Then we went to the Island Bay Marine Aquarium that was cool I saw Shark eggs, a Octopus, Starfish, Seahorses and heaps more it was so cool.Then it was back to camp and by then I was exhausted.
This is were we went Snorkeling! The brown house looking thing in the distance is the Aquarium

Thursday

Thursday was our our last day at camp we went to the Holocaust Center , the Museum of Wellington, and back to Capital E. The Holocaust Center was Boring mostly because I didn't know much about it and we sat down on our buts for about an Hour and a half But the amazing thing about that was that one school has collected One and a Half MILLION buttons to represent every single child that died in the Holocaust. The Museum of Wellington was next and we learnt about the Wahine Disaster that was pretty amazing how it went down and also I found out after I got home and told my Family about camp that my Granddad was on the Wahine one week before that the ship went down.Then back to Capital E for the Movie Part of the building our movie that we made was called Once Upon A Crime and I was a Presenter with Brooke it was really fun and now I'm FAMOUS (only on YouTube though) My favourite part of doing that was being able to dress up and make a movie because I have never made a move with so many people before.We then went back to camp for our last night there.
This is where we did ONTV and Media Studios.
Friday
Wakey wakey girls. "is it really 6:30 already" I said to Arden. Breakfast finish packing our bags put them on the bus, toilet and of we went for our trip home another boring trip on the bus but I was super excited when we go to Te Awamutu because my brother and dad were coming home and most of all I had not seen my mum since Saturday so I really missed her. I could not wait to get home and lie down and relax before netball the next day. I had so much fun and can't wait till next years camp.
