Nicole: My highlight of the New York trip is the Broadway show Hamilton.

My highlight of the New York trip is the Broadway show Hamilton. This was my favourite part of the trip because I really enjoyed the show. The actors were amazing and the atmosphere just made everything better.

Cassie
My highlight of the New York trip was the Met Museum. I enjoyed seeing all the different art and statues, especially Monet and Van Gogh's real-life paintings. I wish we had more time to look around it as I could easily spend a whole day there. 

Gabriel
My highlight of the New York Trip was the Smithsonian National Zoological Park. It was my highlight because there were many animals you could see and they didn't look sad inside their enclosure. My favourite animal would have to be the big cats. With the zoo being in such a large space and having lots of flora, the air was not polluted so it was a nice refresher from the hustle and bustle of New York.

Sam A
My highlight of the New York trip was Central Park. I enjoyed walking around Central Park and seeing all the sites where movies and TV shows have been filmed in the past. Central Park was huge and seeing how big it was in real life was a shock. 

Annaliese
My highlight of the New York trip was visiting the Chelsea Market. Even though it was an unplanned visit, it was a lovely nook of bookstores and bakeries. It didn’t have the harsh lights and pollution of Times Square, and the atmosphere was warm and cosy. 

Millie
My highlight of New York was trying Raising Canes, it was the best food of the whole trip. I also enjoyed meeting Judy the tour guide.

Jade
My highlight was when we arrived at Times Square because there were so many people and lights. It was right out of the movies it seemed. I also enjoyed seeing the Statue of Liberty because I only ever saw it on the internet.

Kate
My highlight of New York was experiencing the ambience of the city. I enjoyed seeing the famous landmarks that are all over the city as it was so surreal. It was crazy seeing so many things I'd only ever thought I would ever see on TV. Like the steps of the Met where celebrities walk up during the Met Gala and where one of my favourite actors, Blake Lively eats her lunch on the show Gossip Girl. 

Balin
My highlight of the New York trip was the sports games that we went to. The atmosphere at each game was electric and was amazing to be around and get involved with the crowd. The NBA game was my favourite of the two games because of the intensity of the game and how involved the crowd was in the game, it was something I’ve never seen before. 

Aniva
My highlight of the trip to New York was just being there and seeing all the cool sites. I enjoyed the tour guide Judy who brought the entertainment to the group and was super nice. As well as seeing Times Square in real life, it was so surreal and such an amazing experience.

Jack
Basketball was amazing, it was a great experience to go to in America. As it was a playoff game the mood was intense and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Leo
I enjoyed the baseball game because of the atmosphere, food and drinks. It was good to see the big screen and funny to see Jade caught on there.

Ngā mihi,
