A Journey to Education to Parliament by Angus Lewry

As the minutes past, Kakapo syndicate waited to catch the nine sixteen train from Linden station.
After fifteen minutes of waiting the train slowly came to a halt. We all clambered in the fourth carriage, all sixty kids in one carriage you could not imagine what it was like on that busy Friday morning.
When we reached our destination we all went to sit in our class lines except room ten which were getting the guided tour first.
Room twelve started to make their way to Parliament grounds to have morning tea and a chance to let out our energy instead of letting it out in Parliament.
At ten thirty we were told to make our way to the back of the beehive to meet our tour guide Mike who reminds me of my Uncle.
He took us to a room to meet the MP for Tawa, (which some of you may have seen him on TV before) his name was Peter Dunne. He told us what he does in Parliament and in the ministry of health. He also answered some questions we asked him even though some were tricky but he still answered them in some shape of form.
Later Mike started the tour starting at the House of Representatives were he showed where some people sat. Then he took us to the library and the 750 000 books in there. Later he took us back to the entrance of the parliament building where we ate our lunch.
Most of us had finished our lunch, so Ryan and I played around the grass. We had about forty five minutes to eat and play around before leaving for the Archives.
We started to make our way to the Archives where the Treaty of Waitangi is kept.
The Archives was only five minutes down the road but we all separated into three groups so we crossed the three crossings separately .
The chamber where they kept the Treaty’s was dark because the lights could affect the Treaty’s importance.
We were at the Archives for about fifteen minutes before Mrs. Brockie said we were to depart from the Archives to Fran Kitts Park for a run around.
When we arrived at the park Ryan and me were on the slide and making the slide block up.
At the end of the day, I felt really tired and felt like sleeping and I do not like sleeping at all.
