The Australian Museum

Yesterday I went to the Australian Museum with my AMEP-B class.

We met at the Kogarah station at 9 o'clock and then took a 9:20 train to Town Hall station to meet another classmate Chuchie and go to the museum together.When we got to the Town Hall, we went through the City.After 20 minutes of walking, we got to the Australian Museum.

When outside the museum, the teacher gave us worksheets about the museum. We went inside and paid the admission. Then we left our bags in the locker room and began our visit.

First we went to the Skeletons exhibition. We saw a human skeleton which riding a bike was similar to us.Then we walked around the Skeletons exhibition and asked many questions about the skeletons.I learnt some useful facts about them.

After that we went upstairs to the Planet of Minerals exhibition.We listened to the woman who introduced the birds and we walked inside a vault which was filled with precious stones.We looked at mineral samples and read about many minerals such as quartz, gold and gems.

Next we saw the Search and Discover exhibition. In this exhibition,there were many fascinating Australian plants and animals.In addition,there were dinosaurs too.I learnt a lot about them and I liked this exhibition the most because I like dinosaurs.

After nearly two hours,we went outside the museum and had a picnic lunch.We went to the park and sat together to share our lunch.At about 2:30,we said goodbye and went back home.

It was a wonderful day and I won't forget it for a long time!
