Day 2 - Museum + AIS

Today my class woke up at 7am, got dressed and went to the dining hall for breakfast at 7:30.

We got onto the bus and went to the museum and the place was so cool as we went walking for a few hours. (Josh)

At the National Museum of Australia we got to see so many awesome exhibits. My favourite was Phar Lap’s heart. They actually showed us the real heart! It was gross but cool at the same time. We also got to invent our own car or house from the future in “K-Space”. It was awesome! (Chelsea)

Today at the National Museum of Australia we first went for a walk to look around at some artifacts. Some of the artifacts were very interesting like the spearheads. We then had lunch with a choice of chicken, beef or ham rolls. After lunch a lady called Jenny took us all into a room called the Bunjip room. We split up into 5 groups. Each group got an artifact and had to discuss it. We then had to go to the front and talk about it to the rest of the class. We described what it was, where it came from and when it was made. After that the lady gave us a project to do (very close to the one Mrs Doyle gave us) We had to take a photo of an artifact of our choice and then had to write detailed information. I chose a telescope. (Owen)

After the museum we went to the Australian Institute of Sport (A.I.S.) and played in the games room. Then we went for a tour through the centre and we saw the men’s Olympic volleyball players training. (Josh)

Today we travelled to the A.I.S. We met our tour guide (Shaun, a speed walker) and we got to play on the cool equipment like skiing, snowboarding, bike riding, rowing and much much more! We also got to see the Olympic swimmers in their $17million pool complex and the Volleyball players train. (Alessandra)

We went back to the bus to go home, not to Perth, but to the camp for a feed, games and a good night sleep. (Josh)
