Kelly Tarlton

It was a good day to go on a trip to Kelly Tarltons. All the year 5 and 6 traveled on busses. We had to wait on the bus until we got to Kelly Tarltons. We went into the school room. In the school they had cool thing that they would have in the Antarctic. They had to bring the food to Antarctica on a big plane so the people could live in Antarctica. It is colder than ice if you live in Antarctica you probably would die if you didn’t have warm clothes to wear.

We went outside, the sky the sun was shining brightly in my eyes. Rooms 13 and 16 had to walk to the adventurous playground by Okahu Bay for morning tea. People ran to the flying fox. I ate my morning tea before I went on the playground. “Line up it’s time to go back” said Miss Lavakula, we all lined up and headed back to Kelly Tarltons.

We walked down the ramp toward the Penguins. I saw King penguins and Gentoo penguins, they looked cute and cuddly. A lady and a man were feeding them fish. One fish at a time. The penguins were enjoying our company. We carried on walking and went through a replica of Scott Hut. I thought it was cool. In a room I saw penguin bones. Miss Takerei and I went through the tunnel and we saw lots of sharks, fish and stingrays. When we came out of the tunnel we went to look in the tanks. I saw a moray eel, starfish, a giant sized crayfish and many other exciting things.

Everyone was doing work on their netbooks I was allowed to go and explore the kids area. I played with Brandon for a little while then it was time to get back on the bus for the trip back to school. I was feeling a little bit sad because I wanted to stay longer. I hope to go again with my family one day soon.
