Our grand museum trip!!!

It was the best day ever for a class trip to the Canterbury museum!It was the sunniest morning with no wind at all!It was perfect!

Our class, 8b7, drove to the museum with help from some of our parents and grandparents!In front of the museum there was some amazing photos of all around the world!There we had some morning tea!We also saw there was a window similar to the rose window on the front of the museum too!

Once we finished our morning tea, we silently crept into the museum and we were taught about photographers and how to take portrait pictures with our camera that they gave to us to borrow.We were taught by a lady who's nickname was 'Whea'.We took portraits of each other and she printed them out for us.She also talked to us about Brian Brake (photographer) and focusing with a camera and also the lighting. The reason for this was because we wanted to take good photos of our Cathedral building.

After the lesson was over, we had a walk through the Botanical gardens.We saw the peacock gardens and the beautiful flowers. Near by the playground we ate lunch.

Then we got a choice of staying and having the look around in the gardens or going and having a look around in the museum.My group and I chose to look around in the museum.We all had a go on the horse and the bike with the big front wheel!We had lots of fun, we even pretended to be a mummy!

At 1:30pm when we all finished looking around, Mrs Stewart called us in and we walked in groups up to the gates in front of the Cathedral.We couldnt see the Cathedral too well because of a red dome blocking it but i could see a huge hole in the Cathedral and it was very upsetting.We got a class photo and got back to school.It was a fun, wonderful and awesome class trip to the museum!
