Our Museum Trip

On Thursday 16th we visited the Ashburton Museum to look at all of the exhibits and learn about volcanoes, rocks, under the ocean and the landscape of our area.

Bella was listening to Simone tell her all about rubbish on an island. People leaving rubbish on the island is a bad thing because it can go into the water and trap the animals. Jenna heard that people left rubbish on the beach and even in trees. Marnel saw ribbons on the trees that were used to mark where the rubbish was.

In the Art Gallery Jorja watched a video about underneath, at the bottom of the sea and she got to draw what she thought was at the bottom of the sea.

Kambel drew volcanoes under water and coral. He thought it was cool to learn that volcanoes under the water could still have black smoke.

Paige thought the three kinds of rock families are called hot rocks, flat rocks and metamorphic rocks. Makeleta learnt that igneous rocks came from volcanoes and Mt Somers used to be a volcano. Locky liked holding the volcanic glass rock the most because the glass on it felt smooth. Jah-Royal learnt that igneous rocks came from volcanoes. Timothy found out the pumice rock was very light.

Milla could see a photo of a man and woman sitting on a bench and they were hugging. There were three glass things to look through and the each had different pictures in it.

Nathaniel looked behind the secret door behind the photos and saw another picture of a glass bottle and a man.

Ruby was looking at blue paintings of faces. She thought they were interesting because of the shapes.
