Sky Tower Trip | By Alex

Today LS2, LS1 and Room 5 went on a trip to the Sky Tower, since it was sponsored nobody needed to pay anything, the person who sponsored our trip's name is Douglas Bates. during our trip there we were given a challenge; on this piece of paper different locations were shown, and we needed to write the name of the location. There were also clues on the bottom of it to help us figure out which was which, another thing to help was the fact that we were on the 51rst floor. Before that though, we'd watched some videos that told us lots of interesting facts about the Sky Tower, some being: It weighs around about the same as 6,000 elephants, it takes 40 seconds to get from the bottom floor to the top, it would take 29 minutes for someone to reach the top floor by only using stairs (If they walked) and that the glass walls and floor in the observation deck are as thick as the concrete floor.

  11. Hey Alex. You made your trip to the Sky Tower seem very interesting and fun. I like how you told us what your class did up there and all the things you learnt and I reckon it's cool how your class got sponsored to go up there for free. I'd like to know why you got sponsored to visit the Sky Tower and were the idea came from. I'v been there myself and I'v noticed that you don't notice how high you are until you reach the top and look down.

  12. Hi my name is Connor and I go to Westland High School. I have been to the Sky Tower as well but I didn't know that the Sky Tower weighed the same as 6,000 elephants! You were very lucky to be sponsored for your trip. I wished we lived closer so my school should visit because I really enjoyed reading about your trip. Happy blogging.

  14. Hi my name is Mikayla, I go to Westland High School. I enjoyed reading your DLO. This sounds like so much fun, I would love to go there one day. What was your favourite part of the day? Why were you guys sponsored? What did you do to get sponsored? Would you go again or was it just a one time thing?

  15. Hi my name is Lynx, I got to Westland High School. Wow! That sounded so fun! I've never been to the sky tower before and I would really like to go. The facts sounded really cool but I wouldn’t like to be under the weight of 6000 elephants if it ever fell down. You were lucky to be sponsored, was it a special occasion? Happy blogging.
