On the twenty-forth of July my family that includes my uncle and aunty went to the Waitomo glowworm caves. When we all got to the caves, my dad and I told my uncle that he had a flat tyre but no matter how many times we said, "Your tyre is flat!" He kept on saying, "What are you taking about my tyre looks fine." We all went to buy some tickets and took a family photo in front of the sign. After we got the tickets we bought some hot chocolate at the cafe. After we drank our hot chocolate we waited for our tour guide. When he came he asked everyone for their tickets and took two photos of every family. The tour guide told us the history about the caves. When we got to the caves entrance the tour guide said, "We should all get our feelings out now because the cave inside is so white and the oil on our skin turns the white walls of the cave black." When we entered the cave my uncle almost had to crawl on the ground, because he is too tall. After walking down a lot of stairs, we came to the middle of the cave, it is called the cathedral. In the cathedral the tour guide showed us some of the webs that surround the glowworms. We walked down a few more stairs, at the bottom of the stairs were two boats waiting for us. One group set of in the one boat then we set of in the other boat. It was amazing to see the glowworms, some of them looked like the southern cross. When we got out of the boat we walked through the cafe and into the gift shop where I bought a wooden light box that has four kiwis on the front and back of the light box and people rowing in a boat on the left, right and top sides of the light box. It was a great day.
I am a Year 5 student at Paparore School School in Northland, New Zealand. Mrs Junjovich is my teacher. My blog is a collection of my work at various stages, across different curriculum areas. Throughout my time at Paparore School I may share draft copies of my work for feedback and feed forward. Other times I will share my final published pieces. I would appreciate any feedback through leaving me a positive, thoughtful, helpful comment. Thank you
