Sky Tower Trip

 Sky Tower (Auckland) - Wikipedia

With a radiant day ahead of us, a trip to the sky tower was up ahead! Oh the views we saw, the heights we advanced to, a trip to remember.. Level after level, higher and higher like a crows nest we fled. 


As two groups lined up we set off on our journey marching towards the escalator to find the inside of the edifice building. We stood and waited in many elevators to get to our many destinations when suddenly POP! Goes our eardrums for the air pressure gets the best of our ears. Exiting the elevator follows the sounds of relief, as our ears get the chance to recover only to be put back in an elevator once more.


Level 51, our first destination awaiting til our arrival. In short, there was thick glass made as flooring to be walked on, telescopes to look out of, buildings to be admired from afar and a breathtaking view for miles! Back to the objective of our outing was to see what, how, when and why structures were built and to that day we had tons of questions answered, meaning we had an idea of the topic we’d be learning for this term.

After going down a few floors we made it to the sky tower’s refuge. The place was like a donut, though we were the sprinkles walking around and observing our surroundings. In that location is where we got some of our questions answered.


Back up we went to the 60th floor, which is the highest we’d been. Enough to give you butterflies, you could lean on the lopsided glass, which made it easier to see below but still very nerve racking. Oh, once again when I said the view was ‘breathtaking’’ I meant it was truly captivating and charismatic for our project based learning !!
