Wellington Camp week 8 2017

I found Wellington very fun as we did over 15 activities. My favorite activities were; Weta Workshop, Capital E, Snorkeling at Island Bay and Parliment. On Monday we went to Weta Workshop and saw lots of props that were used in movies, such as, lord of the rings. After Weta Workshop, we went to Zealandia and we learnt about all the birds that were getting looked after or cared for in the facility. On Tuesday we went to the Parliament and we meet Andrew Little (Labour party leader), and he started talking to us and asking questions. In Parliament, we walked around with our tour guide and he taught us lots during the tour. On Wednesday we went to Capital E and went to the Media Lab and ONTV. We learnt about virtual reality at the Media lab, and we worked with cameras and green screens, with our video, Once Upon A Crime. After Capital E, we went to the Te Papa Bug Lab. Where we learnt about bugs such as, Mosquitos, Cicadas and more. Did you know that Mosquitos kill 1.5M people a year? On Thursday we went to the Wellington Zoo, we learnt lots about the animals there and my favorite animal is the Otter. After the Zoo we went Snorkeling at Island Bay. It was really cold, but I stayed in and carried on. We saw lots of fish and a few schools of Mackerel. There was lots of seaweed, so in some areas were the instructors pointed out that there were some interesting fish, we couldn't see them because of the seaweed. On Friday we had a long trip home, leaving at about 6am and getting back to school at about 2pm.
