Wellington School Camp
On our first day we visited Zealandia which is a urban bird sanctuary I learnt a lot about birds and their calls I also learnt that kaka's are not decedents from the kea. We also visited the New Zealand Holocaust center I learnt a lot about the tragic period of time we call the Holocaust, we also got the chance to hear a story from one of the Holocaust survivors who worked at the museum. Then we went to Weta Workshop and learned about props and how they make them and all the effort off set that goes into the films that we know and love. Then the next day we visited the Space Place there we learnt a lot about the creation of our planet.
We also visited parliament we met Andrew Little and had ago in a mock debate chamber then we had a walk around the building. After that we went to the Wahini Disaster Museum we we learnt a lot about how and when the tragedy occurred. The next day we visited a place called Capital E where we did two different workshops. Group ones first workshop was called OnTV the layout of OnTV room was set up like a proper TV studio we were all given jobs such as interviewers fairy tale characters that were interviewed and presenters these were just the ones in front of the camera I was given the job of studio director so I was in charge of the studio then there was the director who was incharge of the whole thing you can watch the final result here ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z3pkrNt2yU this was definitely my favorite thing on camp. Our second work shop was in the media lab part of the building here we got to make our own virtual reality world. afterwards we all got view our own and other peoples creations. On our final full day we visited the Ellington so where we saw many different animals some of which I had never seen before after we had finished our look around the zoo we had something to eat at the cafe and some of us purchased a gift from the gift shop. Then we headed of for a marine reserve there we did some snorkeling we saw amazing fish and felt some freezing cold water. After that we headed back to the camp where we got ready for the long trip home. Next day we woke got our stuff on the bus and headed home.
