The Google Expedition

Yesterday Pt England School had a Google Expedition. In this expedition there were little cardboard goggles called Google Cardboard. They are like I said, little cardboard goggles. They’re not much, but when you add a phone to it(and the right app), things become a little more interesting. You can visit exotic lands. You can even go underwater, or if you’d like, go into space! So, let me take you on a journey through the world that we live on.

First up the Borneo rainforest. We weren't exactly in the midst of the rainforest, but we were in a cave underneath it. There were other rock climbers down here with us. It was a full 3D experience! We couldn’t move around though but who cares, it was the bom! To my surprise when I looked to the right I saw a figure with a familiar face. I’ve got it! The man that I saw was David Attenborough. He is a Scientist and a very famous narrator on documentaries.

My favorite place we went to was the ocean. When we were there, there were Bull sharks, fish, and other fellow scuba divers. An interesting fact about Bull sharks, is they’re more aggressive than Great White’s. Also they are able to swim in fresh water! Which is an interesting fact but not good for us! But in another part of the ocean where we visited there were cool but a little scary Whale sharks. They are huge! Whale sharks can be as long as 20 metres! But wait that’s not it. They can also weigh up to 20 tons! Now I don’t know about you but I would not like it if one of those whale sharks sat on me. I’d be jelly in seconds!

Anyway, those goggles were pretty fun and, I rather enjoyed looking at others zooming around on the carpet with other Google cardboard pieces and enjoying themselves far too much. But the experience was amazing. I’d like to thank Google and the creators, David Coz & Damien Henry for the experience. The rest of Pt England would agree with me we loved it!

Two days ago I thought it would be an exactly normal day when out of nowhere on the timetable it showed that there was a change. “Fun Time”, I was confused, I had no idea what fun time was or what it meant. Anyway, later on in the day I was getting some idea’s about what “Fun Time” was. From teachers, to students, to other random people. It was a full rotation of fun things.

I looked at the rotations. There were brain busters, Fear Factor and three more activities that I haven’t mentioned! Today was going to be a fun filled day. We were split up into groups, so when we travel from station to station there will not be traffic jams and stuff like that. Some people I saw were disappointed and I asked them why. The most popular answer was, “I’m to tired and I don’t feel like running”. Well that’s a shame because when the teachers said fun time they meant amazing race!

As I said before there were activities like brain busters, well that particular game was the favorite game of them all. To some people it wasn't so great because all you had to do was answer 5 questions on a piece of paper. But I found it awesome because these five questions looked interesting & also were very challenging. One of them were, “What is something ancient that we use today to help you see through walls”. Someone in the same group as me answered X-ray vision. But hold on, that’s not ancient, It’s not even in the present time. Who knows if it’ll be in the future. After a long time of thinking I realized something. I looked around the room for any clues to help me, and then looked through a window. Got it! A window, and to my surprise I was right. Yes, one question down, 4 to go. Sadly, we didn't figure out the other questions. At least we figured out one question. One is better than none.

My next favorite game was Photo Booth. In this event we had to take dashing photo’s of ourselves. But don’t worry there were costumes, so It wouldn't of been one of those boring photo’s. Where would we be without costumes? So getting ready wasn't that hard for someone who wears costumes all the time at home. I heard some people were shy. There is no need to be shy, especially around friends and family. There were specific poses we had to take like, a straight face pose, funny pose, normal smiley pose and a made up pose. The best one for me was the made up pose. Our team was going crazy, no shyness their. After that I was totally exhausted. We were running from place to place and man I can’t believe I kept up with the group.

Finally after all the fun, it was time to stop and cool down back at class. But also to get our energy back up for the run that happened soon after. On the way back I could smell something that almost made me puke. I know what it was, it was the fear factor. They had to eat dry Weetbix which I can handle. But there was something else I could smell. That’s right it was the fruit salad mixed with spaghetti, Gross. Anyway today was awesome besides that revolting smell. So I was right Tuesday was a fun filled day.
