Waitomo Caves

Waitomo Caves


Yesterday the middle team and the parents went on a bus to the the Waitomo Caves to learn about  who discovered the Waitomo Caves and what was in there.

First the Waitomo caves  guide told us the Waitomo Caves rules even though we had already made up some of our own.When we first got in the caves I saw pitch black,on the way down the guide showed us a big rock that had come from the ceiling. When we got down to the bottom we sang a song to Brandon and Anthony.Next the guide showed us the stalactites and stalagmites. Then we went down some stairs and down the stairs were...GLOW WORMS!!! I looked at the gloworms I could see there strings hanging. The gloworm looked like a light.Next we went in the boat. After the boat we had morning tea and went in the museum in the museum. There were some fun activities and also some facts after the museum we went in a room  a guy name Ric taught us some facts. The scientific name for a gloworm is  a Archana Luminosa. After Ric talked to us we went on the bush walk.When were went on the bush walk there was a cave.
