Wellington Adventure

On Sunday Room 4 hopped on a bus at 7.30am and drove to Wellington. Our bus driver was Don and he used to be a principal. To keep us entertained we watched movies like Jurassic Park, Despicable Me 3 and Avengers Infinity War. We stopped at Napier and had some lunch. Then we hit the road again. A few hours later we got to Silverstream retreat. My bunk buddy were Blake and Charlie D. At 6.30pm we headed over to the dining room. The chefs cooked a yummy lasagna. Then we had to go to bed at 9.00 O'clock.

One Monday we went to Parliament. Parliament is made out of three buildings, The beehive, Parliament house and the Library. Our host was William his job in Parliament educated (teacher). We went to his class room and it was set up as the debating chamber. He told as to try sit on a seat with words on the on it. The set I sat on was The Leader of the opposition  and the prime minister sat opposite me. William showed us all around Parliament and the historical things. The buildings are smartly joined by tunnels.

After Parliament we went to Te Papa museum. We split of into groups of three or more. My group was Blake, Charlie D and Charlie B. The first expedition was Blood, Earth and Fire. We thort it was the Earthquake room but we were wrong and the real Earthquake room was shut down. Then we moved to lots of other expedition but my favourite place was the  Gallipoli expedition. It was amazing because the soldiers looked so real. There was a gun and it was made higher with wood and the scope was mirrors reflecting.

On Tuesday we went to Weta Workshop and all the things there looked so real. Our tour guide was Ress and he was really funny. At the beginning he said “we’re not aloud to touch anything but because i’m naughty i'll let you touch some things” so we got to hold some guns and swords.  My favourite gun I held was the tommy gun because it felt so real and it looked really cool. Then we moved over to where Ress worked. His job is making chain armor. For fun he makes cool mask’s. Weta workshop also helped Te papa make there Gallipoli soldier.
