Wellington Camp

We went to Wellington as our class camp I loved it. My favorite activity was snorkeling at Island Bay Marine Reserve I saw huge Blue Moki and massive Paua along with some other smaller fish I also saw some good size Rock Cod and Kina. We also visited Te Papa Mya showed us the airplane area where there was the front of a real airplane we sat in the seats and put on weird goggles the lady made the goggles play a 3D film it showed us a film of the beach and it made you feel like you were at the beach relaxing and watching the sunset. I really liked the ONTV studio I was a interviewer, and I interviewed Kylie and Mya they were pretending to be Hansel and Gretel. Arden and Casy interviewed the Big Bad Wolf (Lucas), Beauty and the Beast (Kylie and Mya). Cheng-yu and Justice made good camera men they filmed Oksana, Grace and Charlie who were the news reporters and the weather man. There was also a media studio where we made android apps we did visual coding to create the apps I made three apps called Hello Purr, Draw and Magic 8 Ball my favorite was the Magic 8 Ball you ask a question and shake the phone your answer will appear at the bottom of the phone and a ladies voice will read the answer to you. We went to Parliament and while we were waiting outside Andrew Little came over to us and asked us some questions before these ladies that were doing Tai Chi came over and started explaining about Tai Chi (like he really cared), when our tour guide finally turned up he took us inside we had to go through metal detectors. After that he lead us to the Parliament house it was question time when we came in one man was asleep some people were playing on their phones!! Two people kept on standing up and arguing about houses (I think) how they run our country I don’t know. We did a lot of exciting things but those were some of my favorite activities I really enjoyed camp and I can’t wait till next years camp!
