Kelly tarltons

On Monday it was a beautiful day for our trip to Kelly Tarltons. Team 4 meet in the hall to get ready to hop on the bus. Miss Garden said the karakia to keep us safe and happy during the day. “Yes” I said to myself as we lined up to walk to the bus, “we are finally going.” during the drive to Kelly Tarltons the people were shouting and screaming on the bus. Rooms 13 and 16 went into the classroom. There was a lady waiting for us, her name was Janice. She told us lots of things about Antarctica, the penguins and Scott Base. I learnt that when the Gentoo penguin feathers start to come off it takes 2 weeks to grow back. They don’t eat or go swimming while this happens. Scott Base was painted green to remind them of the grass in New Zealand. Promise and Rebecca dressed up in clothes that they use in Antarctica. Promise was wearing big baggy brown pants and shirt, a balaclava, deerskin gloves and boots, Janice gave him some snowshoes to hold on to. They looked like tennis rackets. As room 13 and 16 walked to the park the sun was shining brightly. We ran towards the adventurous playground. The tall wet grass squished under our shoes making them wet.everyone had some morning tea. lots of people ran to the flying fox mr sommerville zoomed along the wire and hit the tyres at the end. it felt like we were in heaven as we soared into the sky swinging on the swings.all the children were screaming with excitement. suddenly it was time to go back to kelly tarltons.
