Museum Trip (John)

Last Friday we had our chance to go back in time to the Canterbury Museum. There were five people in my group including our parent helper Sophia. The bus picked us up at 9am and it took about 40 to 50 minutes to get to the museum. It felt like much longer though. When we finally got there, there wasn't a single cloud in the sky but the wind chilled us to the bone.
First we walked through this hallway where there was a recreation of an old Canterbury street.
Second we went to the Antarctic room and saw a lot of machines like a motorised sled and a snowmobile. It was really fun sitting on it because there was a big screen and it felt like you were actually riding on the snow. We also saw models of people with huskies and sleds. Finally we went into the kiwiana section and saw a lot of things like buzzy bees and the Paua House. For me the highlight was watching the movie in the Paua house because it was very interesting and cool to see how they polished the paua on the grinder.
Overall it was an awesome trip to the museum.
