A Fantastic Stage 2 Space Excursion
Recount by Aglaya and Grace
Stage two went on a space excursion to the wonderful Powerhouse museum in the city. First, the lucky people went on a bus ride filled with laughter to the museum. After that we had a quick crunch and sip as everyone was excited to see the spectacular exhibitions.
Soon enough we saw the cars of the past. They were absolutely splendid as the ancient cars reminded the teachers of what their grandparents used to drive in. We even saw a car or should I say limousine of what kings or the queen's chauffeur used to drive them in.
We went to a machine that used to make beer. That's right a beer engine run by horsepower. The awesome machine weighs a colossal thirty-three TONNES. It is the oldest working engine in the whole wide WORLD.
Soon after, the iconic Strasburg Clock, which of course nobody could forget came into view. After that we sat down and listened to the explanation as the awesome clock moved.
Then we looked at the amazing exhibit of the new and improved machines in the future like new sneakers.
Next the fortunate people of 3/4B came to look at the things the people used in the past like steam engines and water pumps, also a bright red train.
After the things of the past we paid another visit to the beer making machine that started working using man and steam power.
After a bit of walking to get recess around we came to the fantastic park. Where everybody got at least a bit dizzy.
Next we checked out the dancing robot where we played some head banging rock. The gross thing was we saw a REAL HUMAN BRAIN!!!
That's where we met up with the so called ‘Captain Chip' all the way from NASA. We learnt the ways to go toilet and how to shower in space. Last on our tour was the zero gravity room and there were a few side effects. We also travelled through time with a space race where Team USA versed Team RUSSIA, can you guess who won?
