On Tuesday the 24th of October all of Tumu went to Ferrymead to spend the whole day there. we started off with a bit of a tour of the place and went to the station after all that we put on costumes the boys had to wear things called knickerbockers and the girls had to wear dresses with long sleeves. We lined up and did the four rules of Ferrymead they were stand up straight, take care of your shoes, ladies first, and children shall be seen but not heard. The man told us to do rule one and four until we got to the lodge hall when we got there he told us to take off our hats and look at the girls and say good morning. After that we played what's in the bag we got picked and had to pick a bag when we picked a bag it had questions in it that we had to answer some of them had pick A or pick B.
If we picked A they would ask us something like what does l and p stand for and the person who had to answer could ask someone in the crowd to tell them or give them a hint they could only get a hint once though when someone asked for a hint they would say what the other person said and if they got it right they could choose the prize of a ruler or a frog.
when the other people came back inside we got to have morning tea and it was cheerios mango and cantaloupe on a stick crackers and dip. After all that we went into the blacksmith house which was very interesting because the person there told us that the anvil is better to use on the curved side instead of the straight side because of the way the hammer hits it.
We moved on the side where there is lots of grass and ducks there was a couple of baby ducks and a mother duck the mother duck was very protective of the baby's we went over to the jail house where the jail cell is cold and damp the prisoner there was an animatronic and it was pretty funny the way he talked about what the life was like there and facts about how big it was and how many people could fit in the jail cell.
We departed from the jail cell and went to the warden's house which was very interesting because it had lots of old teapots, matchbox's, bed's and books. There was a book left on the table next to the bed. we left the jail house and went outside there was a clothes washer which was a wood frame and had metal gratesd you got the clothes and put it in water put it on the metal and rub the soap on it.
We went further on to the fire house, the fire house has two mannequins they were kind of creepy. In the fire house they had fire trucks that were like the cars from postman pat. The room was glassed off so we couldn't touch anything .The glass had some information about how the firetrucks moved around and how the hoses were used some of it said where the fires happened.
we ended up in this feild that had a house in it was a very nice house it had a bed a door a roof but the bad thing was was the house was just a roof there was no body to the house and there was nobody in the house either we went on to a wheel borough which was very big we all went on it and got a picture taken.
we got back to where we started and we got to go to this roleplay school which was a bit scary because the man there said that if you talk you will be hit with a cane we had to wright with a pen a apple a day keeps the doctor away then we had to show it to him and he would dismiss us.
I somehow managed to get separated from my group then i found them in the theater where the old movie started plying it was a movie about a father having a meeting with someone and needs to prepare a meal but he doesn't know how to cook and the daughter at school are learning how to cook. he called up the daughter at school and started running home with her friends to help and they managed to pull it off.
we left the theater and went back to where we started for afternoon tea. We then had some free time and got to play on these toys made out of wood there were stillts and sticks for banging on a stump there was go karts which were the best because you had to steer it yourself while someone else pushed you.
we had to stay out there for a bit then we went on a ferry that took us around to a river and to another part of the station which was a bit intersting. We headed back in the ferry and lined up quietly and went back on the bus to go back to school and it was home time.
if you went on a school trip where would you want to go?
