Maritime Museum Visit — Dash

Dear year fives and other students.

I had a great time on our visit to the Maritime Museum.

The best part about the visit was going on the iPads and completing challenges.

At lunch there were seagulls and we were feeding them and a few of my friends chased them away it was so funny. (:

We learnt how many ships went to South Ausralia we saw what the cabins looked like and what they ate.

We also saw a dolphin near the Port Adelaide river. I was so shocked, I have never seen a dolphin before.

We went up to the light house and saw some amazing sights.

We saw 1950’s cabins in 3rd class. We also saw 1860’s and 1930’s cabins in 3rd class as well.
