Wellington

Last week we were away on camp in Wellington. We did a lot of different activities around Wellington, and they were all great experiences. One of my favourite things on camp would definitely be going to the Weta Workshop. We got to look around and even touch some of the things that were used in real movies. We learnt about how they paint the props and mould all of the faces for human characters. But another thing that I found interesting was at Capital E. In the ONTV studio, we got to use and play around with all of the equipment that they actually use for TV shows and programs. There were so many new equipment pieces that I've never seen before, like the auto cue and all the fancy lights. At the Wellington Zoo, I got to see tarantulas that I have never seen before! But my favourite animal at the zoo would be the otters. We also went snorkelling at Island Bay. We were told to put on wet suits and hoods, and the flippers and a mask and snorkel. It was freezing, but we still got to see heaps and heaps of underwater things that I had never seen before. There were different kinds of plants and seaweed that I had never seen. We also saw a whole school of fish, and an eagle-ray passed underneath us. Everything in Wellington was a great experience and it was a really fun camp to be a part of.
