A Fun Experience

On the 14th of May, I went to the Maritime Experiential Museum & Aquarium for my class field trip after school. We were supposed to do a reflection about our experience there on the iPods that we rented the next day. I think that our field trip there was very fun and we also learnt how to work as a team. It was a good thing that my group members are all good-natured and no one quarreled at all. The people in my group were all very tall as we were all grouped according to height. My group members were Anne, Nadia and Jun Ray. 


My whole class was full of the joys of spring as we boarded the bus to the Maritime Museum. As almost the whole class had never went there before, we were all like a dog with two tails. In the bus, we chatted nineteen-to-the-dozen very loudly till the bus driver got frustrated and drove to the Maritime Museum recklessly. When we reached our destination, we immediately ran into the museum as fast as our legs could carry us as it was sweltering hot that afternoon. After our instructors taught us how to use the iPods,  we began to tour around the enormous museum. My group's instructor told us everything from shipwrecks long, long time ago to stuff that people in the past traded, sold and bought. I thought that it was a little long-winded.


Soon, it was time to go to one of my favourite places in the museum, the Typhoon Theatre! We were going to experience a typhoon. Little did I know that we were going to get wet.... We sat down on a fake, wooden boat and watched the little show on the screen. The whole thing is exactly like a 4D movie. The seats vibrated, there was thunder and lightning and it rained! After the show, my hair was soaked and I was very wet!


The instructor finished talking and we went back to school, ready to go back home, tired but delighted at what we ad learnt today.
