We have written about our visit to the Air Force Museum

Our Memories of the Air Force Museum

We went on the 12 seater vans to the massive Air Force Museum.  Chris took us in to the classroom.  We dressed up into air force pilots.  I was ghost. My helmet had glasses and shades.  We made a foam model air force plane that flew properly.  We also had a scavenger hunt to find a plane with a tiki on it, a dog, a plane with folding wings, a plane with skis on it, a blue tractor, a plane with a red carpet, a teddy bear and a bent propeller.  Then we had a look around and went into captured. It was cool because there was a secret exit.  We went back to school for the rest of the day.

The Freeville vans were outside waiting for us.  Half an hour later we were there at the Air Force Museum.  I thought there must be a lot of planes to fit into this building.  When I saw all the planes, “Holy moly”, I said to myself.  The vans tumbled and rumbled on the way back.  The back seat was making a lot of noise because the caging was rattling at the back.

We went to the Air Force Museum.  We went on the school bus.  When we got there we went into groups.  We did this amazing scavenger hunt.

Clutter boom the school van started its engine and all the kids and Toni and Vanessa and Trish jumped into the tidy van and sped down the road to the Air Force Museum.  We went to the entry and Chris came out and said “Hello.”  I felt excited.  We went to Chris’s classroom and we learnt about planes and what people did in planes. We made paper planes and watched a movie and dressed up in our pilot clothes.  One of the planes had skis instead of wheels so it could go to Antarctica.  One of the planes had red carpet on the bit you walk on to get to the plane.  The red carpet was for the Queen to walk up.  I thought it was an outstanding day because we did so much work.  We jumped back in the van and found our seats and put on our seat belts.  The van rumbled back to school.

I heard happy whispering.

I heard people running.

I saw people looking at stuff like the planes.

I felt like something was going to break.

I felt excited because it was so interesting.

I wondered what I would see on the way back to school.  The van was very bumpy.

I wondered whether we would make it back to school.

Vrrroooom!!!!  “Hi guys I’m Chris.”  “Hi  Chris.”  We walked into the enormous museum.  We put all of our cosy jackets in a safe cage.  We walked into a dark dim room and we saw epic helicopters and plane, even a turret!!!  “Owww” I said.  I got a headache.  We walked into a freezing room.  “That’s better” I stated.  We marched upstairs and sprinted to the shiny floor where we met Chris.  “It’s time for a treasure hunt now” he exclaimed.  We found a plane with a red carpet.  “This is the Queens plane,” a tidy pleasant man remarked.  We walked outside where the wind whistled and everybody chatted all the way back to the shady school.

We went in the van.  We’re at the Air Force Museum.  It is a colossal size.  We go in and look up at the planes. Wow!  We go further into the museum.  We see more planes.  One of the planes had a red carpet.  Do you know why the plane had a red carpet?  It is because it was for royal people to walk down.  Another plane had wings that folded in.  One of the planes had skis instead of wheels.  Do you know why it had skis instead of wheels?  It is because it had landed in Antarctica.

We went to the Air Force Museum.  We put our bags and our jackets in a steel cage.  We sat on the hard floor.  There was a giant yellow plane and fancy plane.  We got to wear costumes.  They were from the Air Force. We had morning tea there.  We had a scavenger hunt.  I found the big yellow plane and the teddy bear in the tiny plane.  There was an enormous plane with red carpet.  There was a plane with a green tiki on the side.  There were some with missiles on them.  Upstairs there were a lot of medals.  They were silver, purple, bronze and gold. They were shiny. There was a place with a short video of this plane flying over the ocean.  We went downstairs and we got this toy plane.  We went in the vans driving back to school and had lunch.

Clip, bang.  Running over bumps. Slamming on the brakes faster than ever. “EEK.”  “Get out of the van, have a run around.”  Here comes the other van, let’s walk to the Air Force Museum.  Aeroplanes hung up in the warm impressive room.  We met Chris there.  He talked about people who died in war.  Chris told us to do a scavenger hunt all around the whole museum.  Two and a half hours. Whew.  Foam aeroplanes cool.  Back to school. “Clip bang!”   The End

Our class is going to the Air Force Museum.  I wondered if there were new and exciting things.  Chris was friendly. He let us on everything.  We did a scavenger hunt.  We got some jet planes.  We got to wear air force helmets.  I wore a white helmet.

We saw the van bouncing along.  We found our seats.  The van screeched.  We had come to a stop.  We saw the solider man, his name was Chris.  We walked in.  We saw fantastic planes everywhere.  Chris said, “Com on kids, let’s go to my classroom.” As we walked up all the stairs we saw lots of cool gear.  Chris said “We will dress up in the uniforms.”  After we had dressed up we had a scavenger hunt.  We saw breath taking planes and outstanding helicopters.  Soon after that we had morning tea.  After we were filled up Chris taught us how to salute.  Later we said our goodbyes saluting each other.  I thought it was an amazing experience because I saw new things like helicopters that flew high, once.

In the Air Force Museum we looked at jet planes and helicopters.  We looked at missiles.  We had morning tea.  We went to Chris to build the planes.   We went on a scavenger hunt.  We saw some battleships and a secret door.  A guy was making a New Zealand flag. We went back to school in the van and we had lunch.
