It was Tuesday the 20th September. The perfect day to go to the Sky Tower.
I woke up and looked outside at the nice shiny day thinking it was just an ordinary day but when I got to school everyone was telling me ''We're going to the Sky Tower '' So when the bell went I quickly did my work and got ready for the Sky Tower trip. Then off we went. On the way there I was sitting with Georgia
on the bus. It was fun on the bus because Georgia and I were taking photos of big buildings.
When we got there we saw a movie and learnt a few new things, then we went up to level 41 and looked at some big buildings. On the way back down we went down to the refuge room. In there we learnt some other new things like there was a ball like thing that goes on the top of the Sky Tower that gets most of the lightning strikes and brings it to the ground. Most of the things I already knew but one thing I did learn is that ''I'm afraid of heights''!
We are a class of Year 5 and 6 students at Botany Downs Primary, Howick, Auckland, New Zealand. Howick is a well established suburb in South East Auckland. We have lots of clubs and activities at our disposal. Howick is an exciting place for a child to grow up in. This year New Zealand in hosting the Rugby World Cup and many games are going to played in the Auckland area.

The Sky Tower Trip
It was Tuesday the 20th September. We went on the bus to get to the Sky Tower. It was fun. Once we arrived we were underground.We went through the shop to get to the theatre. Then the man was telling us about Auckland and all about the sky tower. He then showed us a film about how Auckland may be called the city of sails but years ago it was all about the volcanoes. It was also saying that the first people to come to New Zealand that were Maori and not Europeans. The Maoris made the Europeans welcome. After that lots of other people started coming to New Zealand. People from India and China. People from all over started coming. Then once we had watched the film we went up the lift to the main observation level. We had a look at the view of all of the structures. It was so cool. We also watched someone do the Sky jump. He was screaming like mad. Next we went down the stairs to the Refuge level. It is where they go if there is a fire emergency. You could hear the wind blowing through the metal because there was nothing outside. It was just you and the sky. After that we went back down to the theatre where we had a little talk. Then went back on the bus to school.C.W
A day at the Sky Tower
On the 20 September we went to the Sky Tower.
It was lots of fun. The part I liked most was when we went to the top of the Sky Tower and we stood on the glass floor. It felt like it was going to smash when we jumped on it.
I thought it was funny when my friend took a picture of Dan Carter in only his underwear. It was on a Jockey's poster on a building.
I enjoyed it so much, I really can't wait till I get to go back.
