  1. Junior School Trip to Waiuku By Room 4

  2. On Wednesday 1 June, Room 4 went on a bus to the Waiuku Museum and the Glenbrook train station. Room 2 was on the bus too. When we looked out the windows we saw lots of vegetables and tractors. The bus was very long. It had two emergency doors. Our first stop was at the Museum. By Catherine

  3. Here we are inside the museum. We saw six tea-cosies. Can you see the old plates on the shelf? By Devon

  4. “Come and see what is in this old classroom.” The old school bags were made from leather, so they can last a long time. Can you see the buckles and the strap and the studs? By Damien

  5. The boys wore grey shirts and pants to school. The girls wore big black gym-frocks with a white shirt. This was their uniform. They had to wear it every day. By Cody The ink well is for holding ink. Some one would carry it to the children’s desk. Can you see Henri holding the pen with the nib? The pen was dipped in the ink well.

  6. Every day they learnt the ABC . They copy their handwriting very neatly with no mistakes. By Chase “Don't muck around in the back row. Learn your times tables quickly!”

  7. The maths book has lots of pages and it has lots of take aways and plusses. Some times they use the dots for maths or use their fingers for maths. The dots are red, blue or black. The children have to copy their maths from the text book. By Ethan

  8. I wonder how the children in the olden days did their work on this slate board? It must have been so hard! By Connor

  9. The man in the dairy told us how they made butter from milk in the olden days. In the dairy they put the milk in the machine to separate the milk from the cream. They had to shake the cream in the jar to make butter. Then they patted it with butter pats to get the water out and to make it into a shape. The milk was poured into a glass bottle. By Ariane

  10. At the Waiuku Museum there was a little room outside filled with dolls. Some were dressed in olden day clothes. Some had wedding dresses on. We could only look in the window because they are very precious. By Stevie

  11. “This is the olden day jail, kids. Shall I lock you in, just for fun, guys? “ By Asahi Inside the jail we saw a note saying ‘help me pay’. There wasn’t a lot of furniture and the room was very small.

  12. I wonder when the bus will take us to meet the train. I wonder if the train will feel bumpy or smooth. I hope the smoke doesn’t make me cough. By Maia

  13. Please children can you be quiet on the steam train. Wow!! You should look outside the window because it is so pretty. See the nice houses! See the farm animals! By Niamh

  14. I like sitting by the window because I can see lots of animals and houses. I see lots of steam! Oh No! The smoke is coming in the door! By Mikayla

  15. The smoke smells so Yuck. It is coming in the window. By Jeffery

  16. T This ride is very fun! I hope the train will take us to a fun place. It smells smoky. It is bumping along the track. By MacKenzie

  17. These are the old school children. I got smoke in my throat. It made me cough. The school girls are having a great time. By Beth The light in the train is for going in dark scary tunnels

  18. I wonder what is in the big shed over there. Will there be a train? Will there be a carriage? I saw three big engines. I got to go through one of the engines. I saw some coal. In the workshop we saw the train’s wheels. They are clicked together. By Oliver

  19. I wonder what it would be like to be an engine-driver? It is smelly in here! I can smell the coal. by Tamaryn The oil-can. The fire-box. Coal and a shovel.

  20. We climbed back into the carriages. The guard waved the green flag when it was safe to go. On the way to the station the train had to stop at the water tower for more water. It took a long time to put the water in the engine. The fire heats up the water to make steam to push the wheels around. By Callum

  21. This is the place where you buy tickets for the train ride. Can you see the notice board? The notice tells you what time the train leaves the station. By Nathan We arrived to the Glenbrook Station. We hopped off the carriage onto the platform.

  22. The carriage got disconnected from the engine. Now the carriage is empty. We were watching it while we were having lunch at the picnic tables. Now the train is ready to go on another adventure. By Henri

  23. The picnic tables at the station make a great place to eat our yummy lunch. They are beside the dairy. The poster tells me that you can go on holiday on the train. You can put the suitcases on the trolley and wheel them to the train. They go in the baggage compartment. By Seth

  24. WoWOWow! This has been the best school trip ever!! We are at the end of our trip. We were happy to have gone on the old steam train. We have learnt a lot about the olden days. I don’t think I would have liked to have lived in the olden days – especially not the olden day school! I would not want the strap! By Samantha
