Wellington trip 2018

Students from Room 8 accompanied Mr Metcalfe and students from Rooms 9, 10, 19 and 23 on this years DLU trip to Wellington where the group stayed at the YHA and visited Te Papa, Capital E, Parliament, Ferg's Rock Wall, Zealandia, WETA, the Great War Exhibition, The Gallipoli Exhibition, and Pukeahu (The National War Memorial), as well as attending the Last Post Ceremony at 5pm at the War Memorial.
Three visits to Capital E saw them create the news programmes "ToNightline". and "Once Upon A Crime", as well as creating 2D animations at the Media Lab. At night, students were faced with Thinking challenges contributed by each student, went to the movies, and had dinner at Ghengis Khan's Mongolian BBQ. Parent support was from Dani's mum Tracey, Anaru's mum Maarama, and Thomas B's dad Chris. A great trip to be remembered for a long time.
