What Now
On the 13th of September 2020 room 7 and room 8 went to Shantytown to get gunged and foamed by the New Zealand famous What Now and this is how it started. On Saturday night I was with Nathan just after my birthday weekend and we were really excited for what now so we were talking about it for a bit. But then we eventually fell asleep after about 30 minutes because we were tired from flipping all day. At 6:10am we were woken up by my mum who said that we had to get ready real speedy or else we will be late. So once we had had breakfast and did more morning things we got into the car and waited very excitedly for Zade to get into the car.
When we arrived at Shantytown we had to wait for a bit for the gate to be opened so we could get to the car park to be let in. After about 15 minutes the gate was opened and we drove through to the car park where we got out and were let into Shantytown. Once we went into Shantytown we all had to go into the train station to hand in our consent forms and then the What Now people arrived and their names were Morgan, Erin, Matt and Matt. After they introduced themselves we got on the train to start off the show. We got onto the train and Erin said stuff to the camera while we all walked off the train and through the train station out to where the post office is.
The next thing we did was we went to the fire station where 5 people including my brother were chosen to participate in the say it don’t spray it activity which they had to say a tongue twister and if they failed they got foamed. First up was Jordan who failed the tongue twister and got foamed and everyone laughed. Next up were Emma and Mea who both got it right and didn’t get foamed. Next up were Lucy and Zade who got it wrong and got foamed and it was funny. After that Emma and Mea had to do it again and whoever stuffed it up the most got foamed. Mea lost and got foamed and it was funny which meant that Emma had won. But that didn’t mean she wasn’t going to get foamed so she got foamed at it was funny.
Next up we went to the gold panning place but I was on the complete other side as everyone else so I wasn’t sure what was happening at this point. But after that we went to the movie theatre where we were told to act like we just watched a TERRIBLE movie and were coming out acting really mad because we spent all of our money to watch that stupid film but in reality I actually liked it.
The next thing we did was called gunge the teacher and what we did was gunge the teacher. What happened was Mrs Newton would sit on a chair with a bucket of gunge above her and a few students were chosen to stand on the other side of the fence with a ball. Mrs Newton was asked a question and if she got it wrong the kids with the balls would throw the balls at a target that was connected to the bucket that tipped the bucket upside down and would let all the gunge out onto Mrs Newton. But if she got the question wrong then all of the kids which is every single kid who was there would get foamed. I can’t quite remember the kids who were chosen but Mrs Newton was asked a bunch of Maori questions and she got the first 4 right which means the kids were all foamed 4 times but on the fifth time she was asked what the longest Maori place name word was and she didn’t know the answer so then everyone threw the balls at the target and Mrs Newton was gunged.
The final thing we did was we all got into a line and Erin foamed us all and everyone got covered in foam and it was fun.
