My Day at Ferrymead
We got dressed in these old in day clothes. I got a little bit embarrassed but got used to it and then I went to candles. how you used the candles is you get these strings dip them in this wax and keep on doing it and then you will have a candle.
I went to the hall and learnt about this ship thing I didn't know what it was at first but a teacher helped me. We had to put the things we were taking on the ship into one trunk and the things we needed when we got to New Zealand in another.
Then I went to immigration. I thought it would be better but it was alright we got to see these random things and we picked one what we wanted. I picked a black suitcase it was pretty cool pretty rusty but yeah we told stories about what you think that there jobs where i thought the job was to work at the bank that means i am rich

ReplyDeleteSharon said I had worked very hard on my Ferrymead experience and it was very interesting. She learnt heaps. Her favourite fact was how candles were made.
