Kiera's Dunedin Notes

THE DUNEDIN TRIP

On Monday the 31st of May Room8 went to Dunedin. Firstly we had to get up at 6.15am but left school at 6.30am. Secondly we put our bags on the bus and drove away. Thirdly it took ages to get to Dunedin and we were just a bit late for the Young Leaders Conference. The Young Leaders was about what the speakers did in their lives and then we asked questions about them. After that we went to the art gallery with John Neumegan and he showed us around the art gallery. Also we did Japanese portraits and we used ink, dye, pastels and bits of coloured paper. Then we went to the museum and took our bags inside and sat down to talk to a guy called Andy and he showed us where we go to sleep. Then we went up the stairs down to Discovery World and we played around a bit until we met Lucy and she stayed the night with us. We also had dinner and we had pizza. Then Lucy took us to see the mummy in the Egypt room. Also we did a next top model dress up and we used newspaper, tape and bits of coloured stuff. My country was Australia and in my group was Jarrod, George, Liam, Shinikka and me. Then we went to get our pajamas on and went to bed.

Then on Tuesday 1st of June we got up at 7.00am and we got dressed, had breakfast then got ready to start the day. We played at Discovery World then Lucy said… “ Did you have a good sleep” and we all said “ yes”. After that all of us went upstairs so Andy could tell us more about the butterflies. Then we went to the Tropical Forest and took some pictures of the beautiful butterflies swooping around in the hot air. Finally we went back up the stairs , grabbed our bags and headed for the bus to go to Moana pool for a nice refreshing swim. Then it was time to go home. I was so excited to see my mum and then I told her all the things we did.

  1. I was equally excited to see you arrive back home too Kiera! I heard at length everything about your Dunedin trip, I don't think you missed any details. Reading through all the blogs reflects how much the Young Leaders Conference meant to you all, and your time at the Art Gallery gave you the chance to try a different type of artwork, which you all managed to reproduce with great results.
    So glad you all had a wonderful time,and a special thank you to Mrs Hughes for allowing the whole class this opportunity, and experience. I have heard the you did Myross Bush proud.
