Learning Journey to Singapore History Museum

On monday 6th april, my class and i went to the Singapore History Museum. This is the first time i'm going to the museum, i always wanted to go but did not have the chance to. At 1.15 p.m, the bus arrived at we went up the bus. During the ride, i felt very excited because it was my first time going to the museum.When we arrived there, a lady gave us all the gadget called The Companion. The Companion gave us information of the artefacts by just pressing down the numbers we saw on the floor.By the way, before going into the Singapore History Gallery, there's a very winding path that we have to turn round and round for two storeys. When we reach the gallery,the place was very dark.The walls and mirrors made me very confuse, i was walking with Nigel and Gabriel and i often knocked onto the walls and mirrors thinking that it was path to the other artefacts. After we are out of the Singapore History Gallery, my teacher split us into two groups, the first group went to the Fashion Gallery and the other went to the Wayang Gallery. I was in the second group. The Wayang Gallery shows the robes they wear when performing the chinese opera. After that, the two groups swap galleries and we went to the Fashion Gallery. After both groups visited the two galleries, the teacher brought us to the Food Gallery, the Food Gallery shows the food the people eat in the past. There are food such as chicken rice and many others. We are allowed to smell some ingredients like coconut and pepper and many more. Many of them don't smell that good. At the end of the day,the teacher gave us a survey on the museum. After completing it, we board the bus and went back to school. All in all, I really enjoy myself at the museum.
