The Sky Tower

Yesterday I went to the Sky Tower.We were on the bus. It was a long way to get to Auckland city. It took 25 minutes. There were thing's I liked seeing on the way to Auckland.This was my second time going to the Sky Tower.We arrived at  the Sky Tower.Then we got off the bus and we met a man named Brent who would guide us.When we got in the Sky Tower Brent showed us a video about the past of  how  Auckland was in old days. Maui and the big fish and how the south island was mad.Brent took us to the main deck in the Sky Tower but I did not like heights but it was ok. Then Brent took all of us to the refuge room where we very lucky to go. After that Brent called the elevator with a special key and then we went down back in cinema.Logan Carr said thank you behalf of Botany Downs school.

 Yesterday was the first day in several years that I had been to the Sky Tower .As I was saying it is so exciting especially not remembering what it looks like .So as I got to school the bell rang.I ran into class . I still had to work through to when the morning tea bell rang. We all ate our morning tea and left on the bus .All the girls sang in the bus and before I knew it I was able to take photos on my phone . Soon we arrived. The instructor showed us around and we watched a little show .Next we went up the biggest lift I had ever been on. It was so big I felt like I was floating in mid air . Then we got to the top witch was at the sky deck. Everyone ran to  the window with excitement. People took tons of pictures including me .Soon we had to go in the refuge room which was really speical for us because we are the only people allowed inside it .They told us what it was used for and why. We went back down the lift to say thank you  then we left with all our memories on our phones and cameras .
That was a great adventure.

The Sky Tower trip

On Tuesday rooms 12 and 13 went to the Sky Tower.We went by bus.We had music on the way there.When we got there this man called Bert showed use to a theatre.He told use about the structure of the Sky Tower and how long it  had taken them to build it, 33 month.Then he truned on a movie that was 14 minutes long about the Sky Tower and Auckland.Then he talked about the Sky Tower and we answered some questions that he asked.After that we went to the lift to go up to the observation deck  to look around. I saw two sky jumpers.Then we went to the refuge place.We went by stairs.It was cold there.We learnt about what it was used for.Then we got the lift back down to the floor we started on.We had to go to the theatre again and wait for the others there.We got asked some question by Mrs Foot and we answered them.Then we left to go back to school.We also had music on the bus. 

The Sky Tower

Yesterday our class went to the Sky Tower.First we went underground to a theatre.We talked about the Sky Tower.It weighs the same as 6'000 elephants and it's height is the same as 3'500 buses end to end.I thought it was fun in the elevator because you could see through the side of the tower.Then we got to level 51,the observation room. It was awesome.We were allowed to roam around for 20 minutes.I saw 2 sky jumpers.Then we went into refuge room. It was cold and loud.We talked about the room and how many times they had to use it.Then they called the elevator and we went down. I was thinking that the Sky Tower was awesome. 

Trip to the Sky Tower

Hi and I am going to share with you my experiences in going to the Sky Tower. One of the questions going  through your mind is how long did it take to build the Sky Tower ? It took 33 months and it weighs the same 6,000 elephants. I know it is so amazing.You have to be 10 or over to do the Sky walk & the Sky  jump. They had a refuge room for fires and  other emergencies . At the top of the sky tower there is a restraunt.It spins around slowly  so people can see the views. 

Trip to the Sky Tower

Yesterday I went to the Sky Tower.The Sky Tower is made of concrete,steel and Glass. We saw people jumping off the Sky Tower. It looked cool. We went to the emergency room. It was called the refuge room. We also watched a movie about NewZealand and how unique it is.   

The Amazing Trip to the Sky Tower

" Wow that's huge!! " I remember hearing some kids saying as we pulled up next to the Sky Tower.
I've got to admit it was pretty big! It could fit 37 school or normal town buses in it. That's BIG!
Apparently it weighed as much as 6000 elephants! WOW I wouldn't like to be under 1 elephant let alone 6000!
The bus drive there was really noisy. It included a couple of kids singing or humming to the songs on the radio that the bus driver put on.People were shouting over the noise trying to talk. Some people were just sitting there quietly because they have nothing to talk about with their friends.
It was really freaky when my friend and I started jumping on the glass that you were supposed to look down on in the Sky Tower. You could have walked on it but we decided to have more fun.
We also watched a 14 min video about how the Sky Tower was built.
I had a lot of fun in the Sky Tower and I know I will hopefully go back someday again!!!
