On Friday the 25th of  May my class and REF and REQ went on an excursion to the South Australian Museum and the Botanical Garden.

While I was at school I had my fruit while my teacher reminded us that we have to split up into two groups. me and my class had to wait for the bus for about 15 minutes.

On the bus I sat with my friend Mary and my friend Emily and her excursion buddy, Sierra was sitting in front of us. While I was on the bus I felt really bored because it was a 30 minute bus ride to the city, so to take off the boredom I decided to sleep but it only lasted about 5 minutes because the bus trip was so noisy. When we arrived at the museum, my teacher said we could have recess. After I had recess, I had to go into my group and I was in Mrs Feher’s group.

My group was walking along the first floor of the Aboriginal artifacts while the other group was walking on the second floor of the Aboriginal artifacts. After we explored the first floor we had a switch over and my group was exploring on the second floor. I had to look after my excursion buddy and her name is Madison. After we had explored the museum we walked to the Botanical Gardens to have lunch. Later when we had lunch we could play around where the teachers saw us. When it was time to go I was really interested in the artifacts so I wanted to know more.

This excursion was so fun!

Today in class me and my friends did an artwork, we drew the chalice and the bread because we were learning about sacraments. This lesson was both religion and art because we got to sketch and do arts and crafts, the teacher said we could use our 100 languages to draw or make a chalice, I decided to sketch. Most of my class made 3-D chalices, but me and some of my classmates did sketching. Emily and I did shading but it was quite different because she used a pen to shade and I used a pencil to shade.

In the holidays I went to Singapore and Vietnam, I went to Singapore and Vietnam on Thursday 25th of March which was still school. When I went to Singapore I had to wake up very early because my mum and I didn’t want to miss the plane. The people I was going on holiday were my mum and aunt because my dad had to look after my grandparents. The plane to Singapore took about 7 hours and I was really bored so I watched some videos on the plane’s TV. After the 7 hours I finally got to Singapore! When we got off the plane my mum had to check in a hotel, I had to wait a long time until the car was there. When the car was there I got on the car and the car driver drove to our hotel and then we had to check in. I didn’t stay long in the hotel because my mum and aunt wanted to explore Singapore. The last day in Singapore I had to wake up early for the plane trip to Vietnam, I had to wait VERY long but my mum said she could buy me Starbucks and I was happy. It was finally time for the plane flight and it took 1 hour. When I got to Vietnam I had to do a security check first and then I could get the luggage, next when we were out of the airport my mom’s family.

The Commonwealth Games are held every four years just like the Olympics and the games are also held in different Commonwealth countries as well. This year it’s held in India.

The Commonwealth Games first start was in 1930 so that they could try to bring together countries in the British Empire.

In 1930 The Commonwealth Games were called The Empire Games.
