Inquirers Te Papa Trip

On August 1st, Room 7 went to Te Papa. We caught the train into Wellington. When we got to Te Papa, first we had to look into the Natural Disasters. There was information about how people keep track of the scale of earthquakes.We learnt that there was a huge earthquake in Napier, and another huge earthquake in Christchurch. We also looked at the information about volcanoes eruptions. We learnt that there was a volcano eruption in Taupo. Then after lunch we went to bush city.  We looked at lots of huge, rocks and learnt how old they were. We also went to a cave where we saw these stalactites, and stalagmites.Then we went to a sandpit where we could dig up a dinosaur skeleton.
