Mighty Mariners is our topic for this term and for our trip room 15, 18, and 14 went to Maritime Museum. First we traveled on a public bus. It was a long and boring trip especially when we had to leave last but it was all worth it. When we got there it looked pretty cool. Then we stored our bags in a room. We hoped in a line then met Salty Sam. (He was boring). "Blah blah blah" he was rambling but I didn't hear him because I was playing with Kingston. Then he guided us on a quick tour around the museum. When we finished our tour, Salty Sam told us to salute with our right hand so we did.
"Ding ding ding". Suddenly a bell rung. "What is that?" everyone asked. "Get ready for the cannon" Salty Sam yelled. "YOAH a cannon"everyone yelled. "5,4,3,2,1, Boom.'' With a count down the cannon exploded like we were in a war.
Next we met Judy. After Judy was talking she to us we went into a circular little movie theatre. The sign said the doors will automatically close in every 15 minutes. Miss Sqiures didn't see the sign and she almost got locked out but in the nick of time she scuttled in before it closed. Miss Squires didn't know that when the doors were shut you could just open them. We watched the movie and it was about the Polynesians coming to Aotearoa on a waka and what helped to guide them on the sea. The whales, birds, stars and the waves all guided them.
After the movie Judy took us on another tour and asked questions about the movie. "This is boring" I thought."My legs are aching and my calf muscles are sore. Luckily we had lunch. Miss Squires said that the wind had picked up so we wouldn't be going onto the Ted Ashby (that was the museums boat) because it only had on engine and the wind was strong as a giant blowing the whole city. So Miss said we would go on a Ferry to Devonport and back. At the station we got on the Ferry and we were having so so so so much fun on the boat! When we arrived, Raenan and I were saying hi to everyone that came on board. Then we just came back.

I had so much fun today and I hope my family and I can come back.

Hi Gabriel,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your recount about our trip to the Maritime Museum. I thought it was a pretty amazing place. I think I would really like to go back again. I might take Matua Wyllis because he hasn't been their yet. I liked the movie the best because I thought it really made you get a feel for what it would have been like for the Polynesains who first travelled to Aotearoa.
Keep up the great work. I wonder if you could add in some of the paragraphs we were writing about the Salty Sam tour.
Ms Squires
Hi Gabriel,
ReplyDeleteYou have written an interesting recount about your trip to the Maritime Museum. It sounds like everyone had an exciting time, even though you mentioned a couple of times that you were bored. I'm sure that you learnt a lot of useful information that is relevant to our topic this term. I loved some of your descriptions e.g. 'circular' and 'scuttled'. Great work.
