Young Leaders Dunedin
On 29th of May 20911 we went to Dunedin for young leaders. It was a 3 hour bus drive to Dunedin . The first thing we did was go striaght to the theatre for the main point. When we walked in there was Charlie, who is one of the Whatnow hosts and some other random girl were the presenters of young leaders. We had lots of people come in to talk about what a leader was. There was Alison Shanks, Allison Mooney, Adam Hall, Pat Buckley, And DAVE. My favourite person was DAVE because he had really good humour. After that we all went to the art gallery and had an art session. What we had to do was think of 5 things that represents us. Then we had to draw them on a piece of paper. Each of them had to be bigger than your hand so you had to do lots of over lapping with the objects. Then we went over it with Indian ink. We used Indian ink instead of normal ink because it drys fast and you can smudge it in to make it look really cool. Then with yellow dye we went over the ink to give it a bit of glow on the outsides. After that we coulored everything in with dye and pastel. Then we were done. After that we went to the museum. We played in discovery world for half an hour. discovery world was really cool. There was really awesome contraptions in there. What you had to do for my favourite one was you had a giant cannon shaped thing that works like a hair dryer and you have to blow this inflatible ball though three hoops. It was really hard. Then we had pizza for tea and brownie and biscuits for pudding and then went to bed. In the morning we got up and did an activity in one of the gallarys. In the gallery there were lots of carvings of people. There was also four of these big tall wooden carvings with around 3 people on each of them. Some of the people on the carvings were holding a lizard in their hand. We found out that it meant that they had died from something. After that we looked at all of these wooden instruments that had been carved. They all made really cool noises. After that we left the museum and went to moana pool for a swim. It was really awesome fun. Then we had lunch. It was really yum. We had an orange drink thing, an apple, and a really yum big bun with chicken, cheese, lettuce, and more yum fillings. After lunch we left for home. I had an awesome time and i was sad to go but i was excited to get home aswell.

What a fantastic reflection, Tim. You can see all the amazing things we packed in - even I'm impressed and I was there! I liked your 'random' comment. It made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteHave you thought about adding paragraphs? It would break up the post a bit and make it easier to read. Also, what did you learn from the speakers? I'd love you share some things with the reader.
Great start to your blog! I'm impressed.
