Skytower Trip

This week for inquiry we had a trip to the Auckland Sky Tower. We had been looking at information about the sky tower. The information that has been given was very interesting. Our host Ken was showing us around.  First we went down to go watch some history videos about the sky tower. This had a lot of information about the sky tower and also auckland city itself. The auckland sky tower has Sky jumping, and Sky walking. The sky tower is the tallest building in the southern hemisphere. Also the sky tower was built for communication. Then we went upto level 51, you had a great view of auckland.The Skytower was built in 1997 and weighed 6 thousand elephants the height was 324m. In the elevator it takes 41s to get to the top levels. Ken gave us a piece of paper that had 20 places in auckland we could see from level 51 in the sky tower. We split up into 3 groups. 1 group with Ms Emma, and another group with Kiri ( Another Helper) and the last group with Mr Wong. We all had been given the piece of paper and a pencil. There was a big glass window for the view and when you got walk around you see glass floor that was 38mm thick. It was very scary because Ms Emma told up if we could lay on it and look down. I had the feeling I was about to fall down. After that we had took the stairs down to the refuge area. The refuge area is for when there is a earthquake and fire. Then we made our way down and thanked our host Ken then headed back on the bus to School.
