Day 3 - Island Bay Marine Reserve

Victor and Judy were very passionate educators about marine life.

The students had the chance to pick up and touch a variety of creatures found in the Cook Strait and Rocky Shore area, as well as search the rocks themselves.  

The adults had to wear special hats so they could be seen!!!

Day 2 Line Dancing

After a busy day, we headed into the barn to show off our line dancing skills.  Everyone was roped in, including the teachers and parents.  Videos to follow!

Day 2 BNZ Museum

At the BNZ Museum, we learnt about the history of money in NZ and also about the BNZ.  We made our own seal marks and typed on old typewriters!  For many, this was the highlight of the day.

Day 2 Parliament

Cameras were not allowed inside Parliament Buildings but we were there!!

Day 2 Botanical Gardens and Carters Observatory

We had a great time exploring the Botanical Gardens while the sun shone, before visiting Carters Observatory.  The rain appeared at lunchtime but we still made it to the playground!

Camp Wellington Day 1

This morning just after 8am, we set off on our EOTC adventure to Wellington.  After a brief stretch of the legs at Woodville, we headed to Mt Bruce.  Here we saw tuatara, a white kiwi (there are only 2 in the world and both of them are here), kokako, kaka, eels and redwoods.  We arrived at Silverstream Retreat just before 6 and in time for fish and chips for dinner!  A movie followed a game of Never Ending Tag on the field.

Be sure to check out Rm 1 and 2 blogs (links found on the side of this page) to see their pictures as well.
