Melbourne Museum

Last Thursday the Year 4’s went to the Melbourne Museum.

However we were a bit nervous because we didn't want to break anything.

Regardless, we were extremely excited. 

At the forest gallery 4EH got to see the Black Saturday chimney and a blue tongue lizard! The chimney was really high. I stood up in it and my head still didn’t touch the top and the blue tongue lizard was either hibernating or sleeping under a rock, I couldn't quite tell.

Next we went to IMAX and watched a 3D documentary about Earth and Space. The documentary was called “A Beautiful Planet”. I liked how it looked like the objects on the screen coming towards me. I tried to reach out and touch it but I couldn't. It looked so real, almost like an illusion.

Next we went to the Milarri garden, there we saw Eels and we learnt that Aboriginals used nature to survive. However, I wasn't quite sure if it was an electric eel or a normal one.

Lastly we went to the First People’s gallery, there were weapons that the First Nation’s people used.There were also language buttons, the way the language buttons worked was, you could press a button and it would say something in the Aboriginal language. There was also really fluffy possum skin, but my favourite part was the language buttons.

In my opinion the Melbourne Museum was a really good experience

On Thursday 28 of August we went to the Melbourne Museum. 

First we went to the forest gallery where we saw insects and had find birds. Then after that we went to imax and watched ‘A Beautiful Planet’. It was 3D and about space.                                              

After that we went to the first people gallery and we saw weapons and there were buttons when you press it that says something in their language. My favourite bit was imax.
