Museum Trip (Fran)

Last Friday we had an interesting trip to the museum. There were five girls in my group. We left from school on the bus at 9am. It seemed like we were on the bus for one hour. When we got to the museum the weather was chilly but the sun was out.

First we explored the museum as we were in the first rotation. We went down the old street and then upstairs to the Antartica room. I really liked the polar bears because they looked so frozen in their environment.
After having a break outside we visited the Paua house and learnt about Kiwiana by doing a card quiz. I thought the house was very cool as they had a large collection of paua on the walls.
Next we had lunch by the fountain and all the girls played inside an old drooping tree that touched the ground.
Finally, Anthony taught us some myths and legends of Aotearoa. I thought the stories were very interesting but I had already heard two of them before.
Overall it was a spectacular day!

 

Museum Trip (Ashley)

Last Friday we left to go to the interesting Canterbury museum at 9.00 am on the bus. There were six people in my team including my mum, Caelan, John, Zoe, Libby and me.

First we put our bags in the locker. Next we went to explore the museum and saw the old street, the Antarctic room, and exploring room. I liked the rain exhibit where you go into a half tube and listen to a storm. After that, we went out side to have lunch and play.

Later we had a challenge to take 20 pictures of kiwiana.
It was a cloudy day but we had a lot of fun and I hope we can do it again.
