Wellington Camp

Wellington Camp

On Sunday our class got on a bus at seven thirty and drove the 8 and a half hour trip to Wellington it was long but we got there in the end. We stayed at Silverstream Retreat.
0ne of my favorite bits was seeing the big gallipoli soldiers they were very detailed and looked like they were alive and about to jump out at you. It was very cool how their faces were almost shiny with sweat and how realistic there emotions were. Another highlight was going to Wellington Zoo because I saw my favourite spider the Mexican Red Knee Tarantula.

On Monday we went to Parliament and Te Papa Parliament was cool because all of the four buildings were connected by underground passageways.
On Tuesday we went to Weta Caves and the Zoo Weta Caves was awesome because of all the different customs guns swords and jobs they do there. It was scary because of how realistic some of the monsters were. It was cool to think that really famous actors had worn and used some of the stuff.On Wednesday we went to Zealandia it was really cool seeing Tuatara in their burrows and cheeky Kaka playing in the trees. We saw Weta hotels but one of them had a huge Tunnel Web in it.Then we went on a city tour to the train station and went to a place called Jumporama were they have foam pits and big towers of trampolines. I had never been to a jumping park and found it was very tiresome


On our last day we went on the Interisland Ferry to Picton on the way I got sick  but not  on the way back I didn’t. At picton we visited the Edwin Fox it was an old ship that had escorted people to New Zealand. It was huge and  one single bed was supposed to hold six people. It was very interest how they made such a big ship out of just wood and a little bit of metal.

We also went to a eco aquarium which had two one eyed Snapper and 6 Tuatara that we got to pat. Soon after we were on the ferry back to Wellington on the ferry we had fish and chips for dinner. It was late when we got back and every one was very tired. It was a big trip back and most people were half asleep but still all bubbling with excitement from what we had done. 

It had been a really awesome camp.

Wellington Writing

We were on school camp on the big bus going to Zealandia. I was excited out of my skin, we finally arrived after a trip that had felt like hours because of busy wellington traffic. In no time we were in the dence bush looking for tuatara, and noisy birds. There was a deep sound, the ground started to shake as if it was dancing. Eeeekkkk BOOM a huge tree came down splitting me from the rest of my class. I fell down a muddy track. I bumped up and down hitting roots and branches that had fallen down. The earthquake had stopped now and I could hear the distinct screams of my class . I slowly came to stop I had cuts and bruises all over me. Broken trees were laid everywhere. I felt sick.

I was completely utterly definitely lost and to make matters worse it just had start raining…… A Lot

I sat down and started yelling for help but no reply. I was cold and wet when I saw a big tuatara. Fantails and tui and a even a small family of weka.Suddenly they started getting bigger and stronger. I ran as fast as I could to a little clearing next to a lake with a terrifiing mosasaurus jumped out taking out one of the hugeeee towering BRACHIOSAURUSES and pulling it under the water. I felt like I was going to pop I had just seen a mosasaurus take down a brachiosaurus.I had to get back. I was scared and frezzing wondering what could happen to me next. I ran up a hill avoiding all the compsognathus (small fast dinosaurs). As I scaled the hill I felt like a hero. I could see the entrance of zealandia and the rest of my class.

I started sprinting down I did not notice the rustle of leaves behind me. Suddenly I heard the slitting sound of a velociraptor on my right .I realized all the harmless creatures that live in Zealandia had turned into the very scary dinosaurs, and all the tui had turned into velociraptors. The velociraptor finished its call and then it was silence. Schh schhh schh three wide eyed velociraptors. The biggest one jumped one me and dug its huge third toe into me.It opened its mouth wide when. Boom Boom Boom a huge trex came bolling through the trees and took the three velociraptors.

I blacked out




I woke up on a hospital bed All my class looking at me.

I Had a huge stitched up bleeding scar on my chest

What an adventure.

When we did our Wellington Writing we had to research first.

I learnt all the birds lizards and other animals. We had to put a twist on it in mine it's the dinosaurs

It was very fun writing and i enjoyed doing it.

Imagine A Night

Imagine A Night

Imagine a night were all animals you know and trust become beasts of the past.

Imagine a night in dense bush as all the trees were falling around you almost hitting you.

Imagine a night lost in bush listing to the distant screams of scared people.

Imagine night were ordinary lakes are seas are full of man eating terrors

Imagine a night when a place you know becomes a place no one

Imagine a night walking with dinosaurs

We had to write about a place in Wellington with a twist and then  then turned into a imagine poem

My place is Zealandia we had to some research about our place and then write an exciting story. It was fun putting the twist on the writing.

I found it a little bit hard to make the poem but it turned out good.

Reflective symmetry

In class we had draw a reflective shape. I enjoyed it because it was like doing art. A reflective shape is when the shape is the same on both sides. Everyone's was very unique. It was a cool learning curve.
