Transportation Outing

Yesterday I went to the water front with my class.
We went there on the MyCiti Bus. It was very squishy because there were lots of people in the bus.
A lady almost fell asleep on my friend's shoulder. I was sweating because I sat at the back of the bus squished in the corner. It was a very nice experience because I had never ridden a MyCiti Bus. It was quite annoying because we stopped at every MyCity Bus station to pick up passengers or to let people get off the bus. When we arrived we had snack and got on to a little boat and went on a harbour tour.
We first put life jackets on and I sat next to Zara. When we sat down we plugged our earphones in that we got from the owner of the boat. We set the screen to English and off we went. I enjoyed the ride because I saw so many seals. It was a nice smooth ride and we listened to facts and music, though the music was a bit weird and out of tune. When we finished the boat ride we found the mom who looked after our ILT group. We had my mom. I was in a group with Bianca, Zara and Michelle. When we met at the hotel we started our first task, The Amazing Race. We got 12 clues and we went around finding answers. I enjoyed this because we got to walk around the waterfront and find objects. At station number 8 we stopped and bought an ice cream. I bought a chocolate ice cream in a sugar cone withe nuts. When we finished the race we went home in my moms car and we lifted Mrs. Louw.
When we got to school I was so sad because the awesome outing was over.

Shipwrecks

Today I did a task on The Discoverer.
The discoverer was a cruise ship that was built in Germany in 1974. The ship wrecking occurred when a rock punctured the ships hull. It is located in Roderick Bay on Nggela Island. It made periodic voyages to the Antarctic polar regions to allow its passengers to observe ice floe moments. The rock punctured the hull on this ship on April 30, 2000. The rock was in the sea in Solomn Islands. The captain steered the ship into Roderick Bay and grounded it to stop sinking.
