We were lucky enough to go the Dunedin Airport for a trip as a end of our inquiry celebration. We went with Room 5 which is another room in our division, and Room 7 went on the following day.
We had an awesome time and we were LUCKY enough to have a very kind parent who works at the Airport set up a tour through Mainland.
We got to go INSIDE the Aeroplanes and pretend to steer the planes. This was magical and we would like to thank Mark who is Christians Dad for his awesome help. A special Waa Whoo for you Mark!!
We got to see the fire engine and have a go with holding the hose. It was such a lovely sunny day that it didn't matter too much if we got wet. The fire man dressed Ava up in a fire suit, she looked cool.
We went inside the airport and we got to see the man who checks your suitcases and bags, he put one of our mothers handbags through the machine. It was a bit like an x-ray machine you could see all of the things in her bag on the computer screen. He also used a metal detector on Casey's Dad to see if he was carrying metal, because he might have had a weapon or something dangerous.
We watched some big planes land and take off, the propellers were much bigger than the ones we have seen.
It was such a great way to end our Inquiry. It was the best trip I have ever been on in my whole 12 years of teaching.
This is Lily and she is a pupil in Room 6. She has published her poem about the trip for us.
Here is an acrostic poem from Lily about our trip.
Dud is the name for our tag
U sit down in the plane
Noise of the fire engine and wonderful water
End of the gutter the water went down
Down the escalator we went
Inside the plane there is lots of passengers
No food on the plane please
A great time we had
Inside they have seats
Rushing to arrive in time
Parents came to help we looked in Megan's Mums bag, the machine took an x-ray
Open the security door
Running on the grass playing a game of duck duck goose
Time to see from the window to watch the big 747
Mothers came to our airport trip
Ate our lunch on the luscious field near the fence
I had a wonderful time
Nice of Christian's Dad Mark to organise
Love watching the aeroplanes and looking inside them
Ate an apple for lunch
Night - it felt like night when the lights went off
Did as the instructors said
Room 6 leave a comment and tell us what you remember, and your highlight of the trip.

Lily that was a great poem that you wrote. You had some relly good sentences.
It sounds like an interesting trip. I wish I had been there. I was in Auckland on Holiday. I bet you had fun. Its interesting to learn about different types of machines.
Great acrostic poem Lily! You must have worked very hard on that. I had a really fun time at the airport.
It was cool writing the poem. I learned about planes and things about the airport. I liked when the man looked in Megan's mum's bag with the machine and you could see inside. I liked seeing fire engine when it squirted water from it's hose. The man tried to squirt our teacher, Mrs CB!

The trip was fun. I liked it when we got to squirt the fire hose and get into the fire-engine. I liked the x-ray scanner because we put bags through. Thanks for the trip.

I thought the trip was great. We learnt a lot of things like DUD is the short name on the labels for Dunedin. The best things were squirting the fire hose, going inside the fire truck and the plane. It was fun watching the planes take off and our trip was cool.

Our trip was cool. We learn lots of things like DUD is short for Dunedin on the luggage tags. The best parts were squirting the fire hose, sitting in the fire truck and plane and watching the planes take off.

It was a great trip to the Dunedin airport and mainland. Also we went through to the other part where you get to collect your bags off the machine that goes round and round. Also we went to see the fire trucks and we got to have a turn each with the hose with the water, it was fun I hope everyone enjoyed it to.
That is an awesome poem Lily! You have done a great job. I like the way you have thought about all the things you did at the airport and included them in your poem.
Lily you wrote a good poem. We went to the airport and I had a good time.
I liked how the plane took off and riding in the fire engine, and going to places where even passengers on the plane don't even get to go.
