On 25th of November, AEC students went to the Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT) in Auckland City.
In the main hall of the museum, there were telegraphs, communication devices, and fixed-line telephones that were used as communication tools in the past; steam engines and classic cars of the past were also on display.

On 11th of November, AEC students visited ‘Sylvia Park’ shopping mall in Auckland. It rained on that day, so we were glad to do an indoor activity.
Sylvia Park is a complex cultural facility with many restaurants, pharmacies, and clinics, as well as various stops for clothing, shoes, accessories and miscellaneous goods, and it was a good place to shop and look around.

On 4th of November, AEC students went to Waitawa Regional Park, northeast of where AEC is.
On the way to the park, we could see New Zealand's beautiful grasslands and livestock grazing there, which can be easily seen anywhere in New Zealand.

AEC students gathered on the coastline, talked to one another happily, had lunch, and enjoyed the scenery while taking a rest on the grass, looking at the beach. After that, we also had time to walk along the sandy beach and coastal rocks.

On Thursday, 27th of October, we visited the Sky Tower in Auckland City for the week's Activity because last Friday was Teacher's Only Day.
The Sky Tower is located in the heart of Auckland City,a 25-year-old building with a panoramic view of Auckland. It is a 70-story building, and after taking a lift from the lobby, AEC students could move to the 51st floor lounge to see Auckland City view

On the 14th of October, we went to Hunua Falls in Hunua Public Park, east of Manukau as a Friday Activity.
This park is famous for not only the waterfall, but also the tracking course and the public park, so it was the place that all AEC students wanted to go the most.

On 7th of October, AEC students went to One Tree Hill in Cornwall Park, south of Auckland as a Friday Activity.

One Tree Hill is made up of volcanic cones created by volcanic eruptions, and once you reach the top, you can see the whole city view of Auckland. The trails to the summit are well-developed with many branches, making it a favourite and frequently visited place for many New Zealanders living in Auckland.

On 23rd of September, AEC students went to the bowling alley, Super Strike, in Manukau City. All the students looked forward to playing games even before they got there. There were some students who had never played bowling before, and the others have already experienced it. When students were divided into 6 teams and begun to play, everyone immediately enjoyed bowling.

Auckland Art Gallery, Wellesley Street East, Auckland CBD

On 16th of September, AEC students explored ‘Auckland Art Gallery’ in Auckland City Centre for Friday Activity. About a 15-minute walk from City Train Station was the Art Gallery, which had a both antique and modern exterior.

On 8th of September we visited ‘Ambury Regional Park’ which is a farm located near Auckland.

On the farm, not only small ducks and chickens, calves and cows, but also sheep, lambs, pigs, and horses were roaming around the pasture.

The boundaries between nature, animals, and humans were blurred there, and it was a perfect place to communicate with each other enjoying picturesque views.

AEC students visited ‘Auckland War Memorial Museum’ in Auckland.🇳🇿
The museum looked like the Supreme Court in Washington D.C. of the U.S.🏛🗽 and it welcomed visitors with magnificent pillars and the entrance.
It was a valuable experience to learn more about New Zealand that has a different ecosystem and history from other countries.😆💖
