Trip to the museum

We were going to the auckland museum have you been there befor? All Of the year 5s cam and a couple of the year 4s.  We went there for the end of the year trip we got there in a bus. We went there on thursday in the morning.

As we were going on the bus to the museum I Angels and my friends were playing games while we got there. We were playing game that was like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 with our hands. When we got told we weren't aloud to play because we were too nosiey. We got bored so my two friends were singing a mori song because there more and i'm not. I wanted to do something with them because i was bored so my friend said do you want to play sweet and sour and i said how do you play that and she said you have to wave to somebody outside the bus and if you wave to somebody and they wave back then that mean your sweet and if you wave to somebody outside the bus and they don't wave then you are sour.

As soon as we got into the museum we sat down on the ground. My group had to go back outside and had a little something to eat With my teacher which is in my group. We ate and ate like big fat pigs. I ate the whole  time until we went because I had something big to eat and it was to big to eat just in a copy o points. After everybody ate they got to play after they eat. We ate were there were two cannons on the side it was next to the steps. I also saw a man with a big camera taking photos or recording everybody thought that it was a camera that takes videos and puts it on TV and i thought the video goes on TV.

It is time to go inside first we had to put our bags into a cage because we're not allowed food or drink in the museum.  Then we first looked at some of the stuff that was back in the olden days. There was  a clock chairs even some plates and cool suites. The next thing we went to look at is the tree house and inside that tree house it had a scary gorilla. I didn't see the gorilla because we were in a hurry to look around the museum. i wish i could have seen the gorilla because Angel M siad it was scary.

This was our last stop to the minecraft area. I saw some pairs of weird glasses and i put them on and the glasses were on a little computer screen and there were buttons just like a game. When i put the glasses on it felt like i was inside the game and that was so cool. When i moved myself i fell in the ocean and i died. It was like when you're at somewhere but you're really not like the minecraft.

I hope to go to the museum again because it's really fun and we get to see some stuffs that we've never seen befor. For my next end of the year trip i hope to go to some were big like pariki pools because that's where our year 8s went too. Or something like rainbow end because thats were our year 7s went or at least somewhere big.

Eating compition

Write to recount that time. 

We are going to do an experiment. The teachers did not tell us what we were going to do.

Were going to have a eating competition today. My literacy class is heading outside to start. When we all got outside I was scared because I might look like a scary clown or an ugly one. Our teacher set up the plats and put the food on. When it was the first round I was so nervous that she might pick me but she didn't.

This is what you do. So you have to have a partner  so your partner is your hands and I have to put my hands at the back of me. So that my hands is my partners hands. Your partner controls you and feeds you. It is just like a robot controlling you.

On the second round it was my turn with my partner. When is was our turn I was shaking because I think maybe I will look like a clown and I was scared. We had to eat a quarter of a weet-bix with whip cream on top the cream was normal and once we finished eating it we had to eat an apple. When we started she put the weet-bix in my mouth with whip cream. It was yum to me but the others didn't. like it that much. She gave me the apple next to eat . I was rushing to win but I didn't.

On the last round of eating it was my turn to feed my partner. First I gave her the weet-bix with whip cream on then I gave her the apple to eat. When I was feeding it to her I shaved it in her mouth and then that's when she used her hands to eat. She did not like it because when her mouth was full I was still shaving the apple in her mouth to win. I think we won because she ate the most of the apple and because our teacher didn't chose who won that round.

My favorite part was eating it. I like that bit because I liked the weet-bix and the whip cream. The thing that I don't like is the apple.
