Maritime Museum

Today we went to the Maritime Museum in the city.

When the bell went Mrs Faalili took the roll and sent the last bits of money up to the office. When we were ready we all assembled on the netball courts to go through a few things. By 9am we were up and on our feet, marching towards the bus. We took the long way to walk to the bus because Moni said it was at the back entrance. It wasn't. It was at the front. Hah. It was a good warm up walk though, thanks Moni!

When we reached our destination, we had to wait a little bit because we were early. Mrs Faalili met some tourists from Germany. They were in NZ for 2 weeks and already had done some exciting things like BUNGEE JUMPING!

When it was time to go inside, we met our educator and his name was Ryan. He was funny! We sat and waited for his instructions and then had morning tea. By then, our tummies were rumbling. After morning tea we were out, exploring the museum. It was so much fun. We saw lots of old things. Ships, boats, waka from the Pacific, an old post office and even an old ice cream shop. Even Mrs Faalili had lots of fun - she managed to scare Miss Tupou while hiding behind a door.

After our exploration we had lunch. At midday a cannon went BOOM! It was super loud! Once lunch time was over we made our way over to the boat and went on a boat ride around the harbour. It was great to be out on the water.

When that was all over it was time to head back to collect our bags. Our trip had come to an end.

A huge thank you to all of our parent helpers who came on our trip. Stay tuned because there will be more pictures coming!
