Our Trip To K.P.M.G

Today the Extension group when to K.P.M.G with a few members of team 5. We were lucky enough to have Ms Flavelle, Mrs Mcmillan and Mrs Lagitupu take us, they made sure we had everything and we were ready to introduce ourselves be polite and everything. They made sure that everything was orginized and that we had a fun trip. Here is a brief recount of what we did and what happened, Enjoy!

We started the morning by meeting in Creative space, while we waited for everyone to arrive we practiced our waiata and watched some youtube. After a while we boared a bus and were off to K.P.M.G on the way there I sat with Eden and we played this game where your supposed to wave at someone and when they wave back you get a point. It's quite fun Amira joined in after a while too, as the bus drove down the busy rodes of Glen innes to the city we cross loads of roads I am fimilair with we even crossed my sister college.

After what felt like forever we finally arrived at K.P.M.G as we arrived we saw friendly people welcome us. They high fived smiled and even said hello. I noticed that most of the year 8's recognized the people and we super excited, I was kind of nervous and didn't know what to expect as it's was my first time going there. But after everyone introduced themselves I felt more calm and relaxed I sat next to a women named Louis she is very friendly energetic kind and she is from Scotland. Louis and a few other staff gave us a tour of the building and where they worked it was really fasinating and quite suprising too.

We also met a bunch of other people including a man name Martin. He talked and walked us through a presentation about staying healthy, he covered everthing from the staying fit physically and mentally. Along the way Martin got us to do fun team building experiences like real food quizzes and making name tags. There was this one exercise were we had to drop without using our hands and then get back up without using our hands too. I did it once without the video and Martin got me to be the example and show the group.

K.P.M.G also gave us an amazing morning tea, there were fruit kebabs with pineapple and melons and scones with butter. There was also green tea and I love green tea, Pisi even made me one even though I didn't ask her too that was nice of her. We had morning tea outdoors by what looked like the side of K.P.M.G, it was really nice and had a great view.

We came back inside and Martin told us about a different part of staying healthy. He talked about sleep and thing that could distrupt it, and why we should get more sleep. Martin also talked about going outside and getting sunlight, we talked about way the sun benifits us and what can happen when we have to much and ways to protect ourselves. We did more activities and talked about more things and time really flew cause we were having so much fun and it was time for lunch.

The first thing we did was go and wash up after that we left grabbed a plate and helped ourselves to some mini burgers drinks and vege kebabs. It was very fancy delicous and most importantly healthy. Once again we sat outside ,chatted, and played games and a few minutes before we went inside Ms Flavelle was so on to it she orginized us into places and got us ready to sing to the public we sang toi mai which is a song we sing often at school. Most people enjoyed it but a few people carried on with there busy lives but after that I felt good and full of energy.

When all the singing was finshed we all gather back inside at our seats and Martin carried on with the last part of his presentation. He talked about managing our thoughts, he talked about things like how to calm yourself and what to do in out of hand situations. We talked about meditation and did some raisin meditating and some calm breathing, we learnt some pretty good things while doing this. We also got reminded of the some of the korero's at Point England School.

Once Martin had finished his presentation Marika said thank you and I filmed it. Aftet the group had said there good byes Martin had a chat with our teachers and left. We were left with the rest of the staff from K.P.M.G and they let us do some colouring while they handed out gifts. They gave us this highlighter flower with different highlighters in every petal. K.P.M.G also gave us a go-gadget and it counts our steps it really fun and I am excited to use it during the run and other times we do fitness at school.

After saying thank you wants again we boarded the bus back to school. That were we are gping to leave the story of our trip to K.P.M.G, I enjoyed this trip partly because it will help me in my future career as becoming a doctor and also because we had fun trying something new and also did some team building experiences. Overall this was an awesome amazing fun trip and I would love to go back there again and learn more. Maybe about Biology, History and maybe astrology and space it would be very interesting K.P.M.G would make it much better and 100 time more fun!
