Antatarca is not owned by anyone. There are bases set up there like South America,Japan,Australia,Argentina,Belgium,Russia,France,New Zealand. Antarctica has a treaty about all of those countries to build their bases their. The person that built the New Zealand base which is named the scott base was Sir Edmund Hillary.

Kelly Tarltons

Today is the day Team 5 go on their school trip to Kelly Tarltons, HooRay!  When the bell rang, Miss Lavakula had to split the class into parent helper groups.  I was excited because my mum was one of the parent helpers.  Now it was off to the hall to have a quick prayer and head off to Kelly Tarltons.  In my mum’s group was Me, Harlem, Ashley, Josh and Jessica.

As soon as we arrived at Kelly Tarltons, we went into the Aquarium Room.   We learned heaps of interesting facts about Antarctica like the kind of clothes explorers wore, how it’s the coldest place on earth and a lot of awesome facts about penguins.  My favorite thing about the penguins was when the penguins molt and they get really grumpy.  Molt is when penguins start pulling all their fur out so new fur can grow.  Can you believe they have 17 lots of fur? Did you know  Sir Edmund Hillary made Scotts base in Antarctica for NZ explorers to stay, and it is painted Green to remember New Zealand. I also found out that the Emperor penguins are the tallest penguins and are the boss of all the penguins.

After the Aquarium Room, we traveled to Okahu Bay to have morning tea.  I had a sausage roll then it was playtime with Harlem.  We went onto the flying fox then onto the boat then the rope rock climbing and the swings.  It was so much fun because the playground was way cooler then the playground back at school and morning tea was way longer.

We  headed back to Kelly Tarltons after morning tea to explore the wonderful underwater world. The first thing we looked at was the penguins swimming. Some of them were standing on ice it was crazy even they swam to us standing by the glass.  The penguins were massive and we entered this weird tunnel it had heaps of sharks,fish,little nemos and more. Even room 13 and 16 had a look around at the stingray and the big fish.  After we looked at those things we looked at the crayfish and the glowing sea horses and the blue fish.  My favorite animal was the penguins and the stingray.

As soon as we came back we all had a good time we love going to underwater world. We felt excited when we came back because all of us had to write and had lunch.
