Museum of awesomeness!

On Sunday after church, I went out with my uncle Michael to the Museum. We were going there because we wanted to look at some very old artefacts. When we arrived there we went inside and went to the reception.

My uncle Michael showed his passport  to the receptionist and she let us in for free because we live in Auckland. We were so lucky that we are able to go in free.

The first exhibit that we saw was of the Maori culture. There were a lot of cool things like a whole replica of of a Maori village.

The next place that we went was the old school exhibit. We saw a lot of old pictures, an old blackboard, a feather  and a slideshow. We even saw an old picture of Saint Patrick's school.

Next we finished off our visit with the volcano exhibit. At the exhibit there was an simulation house of a real volcano eruption. I really wanted to check it out, but a red light had a sign that said 'Do not enter', This meant we had to wait for 12 minutes, So Michael and I patiently waited for the simulation to end.

While we were waiting,  we were looking at the cutaways, diagrams and pictures of volcano and reading the descriptions.

After a while, the green light showing for the next groups so we went in. When we went inside, the television was on showing the news, I felt really bored was on for a long time. So I started  looking in to the sliding which had a screen behind it showing an ocean and lots of houses.

After a while, an explosion occurred on the screen. It was an underwater volcano and a cloud of ash was heading straight towards us. Lucky it wasn't real.

After a while, the simulation finished, so Michael and I ended our visit   and went home.

I had fun at the museum, my favourite part was the simulation because it was scary, but I was able to experience what an earthquake can feel like. I hope we can visit the museum again soon.

We are learning to understand and use descriptive language in our writing.
I know I can do this when I choose appropriate adjectives to describe my weekend.
