The Trip to Te Papa and Capital E

Buongiorno, today I am going to be telling you about my class trip to Capital E and Te Papa! Yesterday we caught a bus at 9:15 am to Wellington, well the bus trip was very, what's the word? Interesting. Everybody sang "Baby Shark", "Bob the Builder" and "Let it Go" from frozen the whole way down to Te Papa. 1 hour passed very quickly and we arrived at Te Papa! The little kids stayed in the bus to go to a show somewhere else.

We got off of the bus and got into our groups, my group had me, Mauatua, Ajia, Lexi, Jessica, Ella Jaye and Jaye. We went inside and we went up the stairs and straight to the Earthquake House or what I call the Seizure House. It took us about , 15 minutes standing in line? Okay so we went inside the house and there was this screen with people on it moving around while there was an earth quake, so what happened was I overreacted and fell over and ended up underneath the table. It was really cool because it was realistic!

Next we went to Gallipoli, not the actual place but an exhibit of it. I have been in there 7 times? Every time I cry! I warned my group about me being scared and that I might grab hold of their arms and start tearing up. So that happened, sorry Ella Jaye. The statues looked so real! 

After that we had a lunch break, and after that we went to the marae in the museum. So we had to go up HEAPS of stairs! My legs were aching! So when we got up there we saw some greenstone. We all ran up to it and touched it and it looked like it had rice on it! Next we took class photo,


The last place we went to was the Toi Art place, It was based on a room filled with confetti. It was so cool! And yet we took ANOTHER class photo! Here it is



After all of that we went outside and walked to a place called Capital E. Capital E is a place with so many things to do but yesterday our session was about music making in the Media Lab. When we walked inside we had to walk up HEAPS of stairs! When we got up all of those stairs we entered the Media Lab. There was a box to put our bags in it. So I put my bag in there and the tutor she told us how to make music! She showed us a example of some music she had made.
