Sky City/Tower Visit

This week Tuesday we had our school trip to sky city and visited the sky tower. We seperated in groups A and B, and went with different people that showed us around to floors 51 and 45. Level 51 was the observation floor where there are special activities you can do like skyjump and also look around and outside since there were many windows. There was one place where you could stand on and it was glass, but since it was 32milimeters, it was safe to stand on. We also got to see someone skyjump ourselves which was very exciting and fun. Level 45 was one of the refuge levels we got to visit. There were other levels of the refuge, floors 44, 45 and 46. This was for emergencies like fires where you go to the floor where aid kit, puzzles, water, and things like that are provided for the people there. The walls were thin metal that rescures could cut through to save the people inside. Everyone was given a piece of paper to fill out, with boxes pointing to somewhere and we had to fill it in with a pencil naming them. We even went to a small room with a big screen to watch a video all about the sky tower. At special occasions, the sky tower lights up different colours to represent it and show their support. The sky tower was actually made for communacations since their were so much hills and mountains in New Zealand. The sky tower cost 75 millions dollars and was made in 1997. I also learnt that it takes 11 seconds to skyjump and cost around 220 dollars. The trip was very fun and it was my first time visiting the sky tower so I thought it was cool. After the trip, we said goodbye and a big thank you then went back to school.
