WOW....what an exciting day.....off to visit the Maritime Museum. We saw heaps of interesting things on the way there...big buildings, heaps of cars, cranes, diggers, and the darkness in a tunnel.
Emma our teacher for the day met us. First we tried to make a boat float with tinfoil, then tested it to see if it managed to still float, holding blocks of plasticine in it.
One group's boat managed to hold 6 blocks of plasticine!
The next part of the visit was the boat trip on the Ted Ashby out into the harbour. Like true sailors we helped put up the sails. Some of us even pretended we were pirates!
Ahoy me hearties!
The next part of the trip was to explore the museum. So much to see and so much to try our hands at. We met a man who made model ships, learnt a bit about Sir Peter Bake, stood inside an old sailing ship, turned ships wheels and much, much more.
A big thank you to our lovely parents who came with us. We hope you enjoyed the day too.
