The Museum

In term 3 in week 9 we went on a field trip to the museum. First we went in a room that I think only people that work there and people on field trips are allowed in. They had some activities for us. First my group did a thing where we tried to warm up a stick. Next we drew some ancient drawings then we had to smooth the hard bits off a rock and the water smelled so bad. Next we had carve off the black on the wooden slab but I did it wrong because I was mostly digging into the wood. Next we had to cut the inside of wood with a Maori axe then we had to drill into a wooden slab with a Maori drill which was my favourite activity. Then we had some food and we all played in a tree and I got lot's of sap and bark on my hands. Then we all went back inside and we looked a lot's of stuff and someone was dressed as Gandalf. And they had a new event there it was a polar exhibition. I really liked the bit where they had a life size polar bear statue they had one standing up and one on four legs. Then we went to the old Christchurch street and the was a horse that you could ride on but I couldn't get on it and a bike with a big wheel at the front and a small wheel at the back and you can also ride on but the pedals were so hard to turn. Then we went to the see arctic stuff we all had a ride on the snow mobile and we had a looked at the dinosaur bones and we looked at a mummy and birds. It was a very good field trip I really liked it and I went back there in the weekend with my family. So have you been to the museum and what is your favourite place there?
