Hi everyone our day at Te Papa Train RideWe went in to Wellington by train we had a great day.
I liked it in the Earthquake house because it told you all about it and it was actually real and it rocked you around and you got to see it. We went on the train to Te Papa, we did lots of walking and there were these buttons and this man on the other side and you had to push the button and wait for the green person and the red person was on it first, you couldn't walk when he was on it. there was 2 houses on a cliff and there was a handle and you had to get all the red lights and it would go up to show you how an earthquake works. There was a jumping thing you went on and you had to see how hard you could jump.

hi everybody yesterday we went to Te Papa when we got there we went to see the colossal squid, next we went into the Maori culturey room after that we went into our space and we had a look on the map of new zealand to see how far we had travelled it was pretty amazing how far we travelled. We booked tickets for the deep ride it cost $5 each kid, in 45 mins we had to go back on it so we went and had lunch, then we went to the Scottish part of the museum so after that we went on our ride. Mum came with us and Dad took Holly to look in the gift shop. Mum got on for free cause she was telling Jake to sit down etc and the man said mum could go in because there was one spare seat. I t was a submarine we went underwater to the largest under water volcano it was awesome. It was an awesome day. It was a long walk back to the Train Station

We went to Te Papa and we went to a play room it was really cool me and holly drew pictures, we controlled this baby, me and Holly did puppet shows I did a magic show too. Then we went to the Marae and it was made out of flax before that we went to one of these houses it was really smelly. We went to a play room it was a Maori play room me and Mitchell got dressed up as Maori people. the skirt to match the top didn't fit so I wore red and black and this silver sort of colour.
After a while we went to the Macs bar and I got a coke and Mitch and Holly got raspberry drinks Jake got a drink too Mum and Dad got a hoprocker and 2 bowls of chips.
We were looking for somewhere to eat and we saw these people kissing.
