Last Friday we went to the Canterbury Museum. There were six people in our group including our helper Bobbie.We left school at exactly 9:00am. When we got to the museum the air was crisp and as I got off the bus the wind started to drag all the warmth out of me. Other than that the weather was fine.
First we put our bags away and explored the Old Canterbury Museum on the first floor. It was amazing to see how much rubbish has been generated over time. Once we had walked through the Old street we walked to the tomb of the mummy. There was a four meter high scale on the wall next to the xray of the mummy. When he died he was still very short. In fact, I was only just shorter than him!
Next we learnt about Kiwiana and did a match up quiz on cards. We also visited the Paua house which was very interesting because of the paua shells on the walls. Finally, Anthony taught us some Maori myths and legends my favourite was the one about the pounamu.
It was a really fun day at the museum. I'd like to go again someday.
