Wide Horizons

On Friday some children where picked to go from Room 5, on a trip that lasts all of school time. Seven people got to go.
First these children went to the Macrae’s Gold mine but the trucks where not working because the ground was too wet for them to go round the slippery gravel track. So then the van load of children went to another part of the mine. They got to look for gold in rocks but they where not allowed to keep it, as it belonged to Macrae’s. Off they went to a playground to have lunch and to play. It was now time for a walk and a look at the museum. It had heaps of old machinery from farms. The children then went to the old Middlemarch train station. They had a good look around and Mr. McColl told them a story of when the train stopped and what it is used for now. Stories over, they hopped in the van and drove back to school. Everyone had a great time and learnt a lot. It was a great opportunity to get to have. They hoped they would get chosen again to go on another trip.
