Maritime Museum
On Friday 30th June,the year six syndicate went on a trip to the Maritime Museum.So when we got there someone that worked there, introduced herself and told us I am your tour guide today.So she lead us inside, and we went inside this hall way.So our tour guide named Leichelle told our schedule for the day.SO she asked if we get into two groups.
So my group (grp1) went sailing,and group 2 went to the workshop.So before we went to the workshop we went and got our life jackets before boarding the boat.We all lined up and walked to the boat, but it wasn’t an ordinary boat it was a Aotearoa 1 waka,a waka is a boat that pacifiers use to travel to islands.We hopped on the boat and the was wobbling side to side.So one of the crew people told us the safety of the boat.
So he told us to take a seat before they tell to stand.So when we left the shore they told we could stand up and explore the sea,the sail was relaxing and calm.My favourite part of sailing was when we were singing the Moana song how far I go.But the only thing that was wrong was when the boys were flat,but it was quite funny.
So we went back to shore and you should know we were all moaning because we didn’t want to leave the relaxing cruise.So as we got back group 2 were waiting on the fence.My group went off the boat and gave our life jackets to one the students that are the similar size to us.Then I tour guide took us into this theater room.Our tour guide talked about what we are going to be watching. So we were watching about our ancestors finding islands to live on. Soon or later, at twelve o'clock we went out where the boats are we were going to watch a cannon burst out a paper full of gunpowder.BOOM went the paper ball,the only reason they use a cannon because they knew the time is 12:00.Later on it was lunch time we had 15 minutes to eat.After 15 minutes we were told to be split up in groups of 5, and also go with a parent I went with one of my friends dad.HIs name was Mr Rameka.We were trying to find 5 objects.The 5 objects were a lighthouse, a ship, animals, and a mini beach house.
So we use our map to find it.So we went to the lighthouse room to find the lighthouse and it was right in front of us when we were in the room.Next we went to look for the ship, we look in the olden ships room, we couldn’t find do I looked back and I found it, it was the last ship on the back corner.After we went looking for the mini beach house so we went in the surfing area and looked for the mini beach house but instead we found this game with a stirring wheel inside it, and other parts of it too.Later on we it was 45 past 1 so that means we were going back to school.So the way back to school heaps of people were playing like me and my two friends, and some were sleeping or watching out the window.So that was the end of the trip.
