1st day of wellington

Our First Day In Wellington

Bang!!!!!! My alarm goes off . I got a huge fright and jumped out of bed with a huge wave of excitement ... but i was still so scared from when my alarm went off.

I start getting on my clothes with a huge wave of excitement and I put on the jug and start brushing my teeth. When the jug was ready I poured it all over my weet bix and put my milk and sugar on and start watching TV. When I was just about halfway through my weetabix mum got out of bed and she asked me, “Are you ready for camp?”

I said, “Yeah. I just need to brush my teeth and do my hair.” and she said, “Hurry up!!!!”

I finished my weet bix, did my hair and got into the car. I said bye to dad and off we went. I turned up my beats and then mum turned it down and she talked to me about to be good and listen.

We turn up to the MacDonald’s and wait for Tayler and Cidnee to turn up. Then they finally get here we say by to our mums and hop in the truck.

Zoom and off we go. We turn on the music. It was ‘7 years’ When we first started to go we were all quiet but then when we got past Kimbolton, we all started talking. When we got into Feilding Tayler and Cidnee went on Jacob’s ipod and Tayler went on my phone and she played Subway Surfer. When we were just about at Wellington we went past the water and I could see Kapiti and I told Wendy, Jacob, Cidnee and Tayler about how cool that camp was!!!!!!!

                                             The end

Wellington top of the hill

                                    The top of the hill

On the street we start walking up this massive hill … cars going by, rubbish flying by and graffiti all over the walls! But before we went to the top of the hill we went to Burger King and everyone got to choose out of an ice cream or a frozen drink. My whanau group got to go first because we were waiting the best and helping everyone in my group. I got a frozen coke, Elliot and Josie got an ice cream and Phinece got a frozen stack. In the frozen stack it was frozen coke, frozen raspberry and frozen sour apple. It looked nice but I still didn't get it. After everyone had got their drink we kept on stomping up the hill with sore legs.

When we finally hit the top we walked into the big tall museum and we sat down on the floor and before we got into all of the walking around and all the other stuff the instructor asked us if we wanted to go to the toilet. All of the girls went to the toilet and then Johnny and I went. When we were running over there we noticed that when our foot hit the ground it made such a loud noise through the whole place. It was sick! But when we got out of the toilet Mrs Fielder told Johnny and I off because we were too loud when we were running in the tall museum.

After we looked all around the museum we went down the steps around the water and down more steps and then there it was … the unknown warrior. The unknown warrior was a man in the war that no one knew about and they shipped him over on the boat and laid him down in his coffin and on the grave. It was a big square that was made out of metal and it had 4 stars on it. The four stars were there because of the 4 stars on the New Zealand flag. Around the unknown grave it had Maori words around it and english words as well.

Once we heard about all of that they had a ceremony. They have one everyday until 2018. It started in 2014 because WW1 started in 1914 and it ended in 1918 so instead of 1914 to 1918 they are doing it from 2014 to 2018. They needed a person to read the Ode in maori. Daniel did this for us.

So then once he had done that it was time to go. We were going to Monsoon Poon. We went there the last time we went to wellington. It was so yummy!

So of we went. We started walking down the stairs and on the road. When we got to Monsoon Poon all of us boys, like Johnny, Jackson, James, Jacob and I had a table to ourselves. We started to get bored when we were waiting for our food but then a while after that, when we were still waiting, we started to talk. We were all laughing like anything But then I was being too loud for a restaurant and Mrs Fielder kept on coming over because of that.
