This week we had the amazing opportunity to visit the Royal Ontario Museum. From the bus trip through Toronto, to the mummies, to the vending machines, there was something exciting for everyone. I was so proud of each and every one of you on the trip and when we have an awesome experience like that, it’s good to reflect on it. For your blog post this week I want you to write 1-2 descriptive paragraphs that answer the following 2 prompts:

What you enjoyed most about the trip (be descriptive)
Something you learned while on the trip (again, be descriptive)

Looking forward to your reflections.

(sorry for the post, this is the real one)

What I liked the most was going to see the mummy's. The mummy's took place in the Egyptian section. The mummy's were sown without the front case on so we got to see what they looked like dead. One of them we looked at shown the Brain, Liver and the Heart.

Something I learned on the trip was all the old stuff from very very long time ago. Like the mummy's the dinosaurs and even statues made back then from real people. 1 more thing I learned about was what is to be like in a cave, the bat cave it showed us all the bats hanging from the celing.

Ok, so this is going to talk about our field trip and my VERY fun time there.

Q1: I had a lot of things that I thought were cool but what I think was the coolest thing out of all was probably the crystal display. As we got told by someone to go there because we"re trying to find the bat exhibit. Right when we got in we saw a lot of really cool things and we got in we saw a lot of crystals and really cool things in the exhibit and then there was a showing area of all of them and in there they felt like there were 100 of them

Q2: One of and probbaly the only thing and the only thing to think about the next time I go on a trip like this that to always watch out for time and never be late because we had to pack quickly and I may have lost something there.

Overall I had a lot of fun and I can not wait until I have another field trip.

THE END.

I really enjoyed our field trip to the ROM because of the Egyptian mummy. It was a dead person from a long time ago wrapped up in a blanket. They only had two toes left, one toe on each foot they were extremely old the mummies were kept in a a sarcophagus the reason they did this is to prepare the body for the afterlife.
The other thing I liked about the ROM was the Batcave because it was all dark with holes in the wall. There was fake bats hanging from the ceiling, and there was a cockroach pit The cockroaches were projected onto the floor.
And last I really liked the big brachiosaurus skeleton because it was so huge and the bones were real. It was the best field trip I ever had.

I really enjoyed our field trip to the ROM. The things that I enjoyed the most were the bat cave and the Biodiversity areas. I brought home one of the maps which helped me to remember the details about the trip.
The bat cave was on level 2 and it was a realistic cave that was a bit scary and you thought that something would pop out. Our group walked through it together and it was very dark.

The Biodiversity are was interesting because it had a ramp that if you went up you could look down to a bubble, and below the ramp was a mini cave where you could pop your head up into the bubble. There was also a forest display that you could search for items that where listed and it was also very realistic. There were also sections of animals and insects. It was cool to see these examples.

It was a very fun day and the bus ride into Toronto was great too!

The part I liked the most is the MAMMAL section. The animal in the MAMMAL section that I liked was the magnificent baby arctic fox. It was adorable. It seemed it was looking at me or something, but somehow that terrified me a little bit. I also enjoyed the bat cave which was awesomely terrific! I couldn't explain if the cave was gray or black because it was completely dark. It's just that I love scary things (Such as horror) and I just couldn't help showing my weird exciting feelings.

I just figured out that the moose is bigger than I expected it should be. It was like, 6 feet tall,(The average of the biggest moose) and it weight about 1,400 pounds. That's all I could say. Oh- and I also enjoyed the bus trip from Burlington to Toronto!

What I have enjoyed in the ROM was pretty much everything. My most favourite thing though is when we got into groups and explored everywhere in the museum. I loved seeing the mummies, skeletons of dinosaurs, and about the animals that live in the arctic. One place that was really intresting was when we went inside the bat cave. It was dark and kinda spooky but really fun to see. I pretty much enjoyed everything in the Rom but these are the reasons why I enjoyed it there.

Here is what I have learned in the ROM. I have learned that the Inuits use seal skin to make water proof gloves. Another thing that I have learned is that when someone dies they take out the organs to keep their spirit with them. Lastly, I have learned that the Egyptians believe in this god that is half lion and half human. That is all that I could think that we have learned in the ROM.

THE END.

At the rom with my group it was AMAZING. When we whent there with my our class i was happy to be in groups because we get to explore the whole museum.It was my first time at a museum and inside was very very cool i loved that place the dinosaurs where very cool and they where super super big the dinosaur i loved was the one that had the very long neck. The place that i really loved was the bat cave and the cristals because i have never seen a bat before and such beutifull cristals. Some thing i never knew was that when i see a mummy still had hair and that was some thing new that i learned from the Rom.💎

What i really liked about the ROM was that we got to see many different things we have never seen before, like the old dead mummies and the real animals that were stuffed, and it was really cool too. This place was pretty big and this owl we got to feel was really soft and satisfying for me because i have never felt an owl before, like it was really cool. We even got to see real big dinosaurs to like the long long neck one that i saw was really long and it did scare me a little but not that much. Even the statues and pretty shiny rocks we saw was incredible, it was so shiny the rock i saw was just too shiny i really liked them. One 1 thing i learned was that the statues and the other Egypt things those stuff belonged to other people in the past and now we look and see them today in different musems and places, we learn many things about them when we talk about them we learn a lot. The End.

What I liked about the trip that everyone LOVED was when we had a tour and her telling us about animals and mummies and egypt and I really like it she also let us touch 3 stuff one was a doll / toy one was a thing you put one your eyes so snow doesn't go in your eyes and get in the way. The other thing I LOVED there was when we went to the jewel place I like it because we got to some of the biggest types of jewel in the world and they look so nice it was just a good time looking at all of those with my friends.
When we went to the rom it was a great time and thank you for taking us to that trip.

Our trip to ROM was so much fun, not just for me but for everyone even if you've already seen it.

My favourite thing at ROM was looking at all of the dinosaur bones. This was my favourite part because 1. It was fun to see all different kinds of dinosaurs and how big they were. And 2. It was cool to see how big there skulls and bones were, especially the Pterodactylus its skull was HUGE.

Something I learned while on the trip was that Inuits used to use seal skin as waterproof mits which is so sad because seal are so cute! Well most of them anyway. But in a way very smart because then if you dropped something or fell in water the mits would be waterproof so your hands won't get wet. They should've made bodysuits out of seal skin then nobody would ever get wet.

Those are my favourite part and something I learned while in ROM

On our trip to ROM it was so fun you see my group didn't see every thing but I have already been there so it was still fun . I really liked the panda in the what I think was the mammals room I can't remember .
( I found a PDF online and I used that to help me remember what happened) so with the help of the mighty map I found something called The Biodiversity room or something like that I can recall me running really fast to try to get into the underground area thingy and seeing a bunch of snails !!

One thing I learned was that when mummies are dead they take out the brain and that the mummies hair and nails keeps on growing even though there dead! and also that seal skin is water proof and like another one of my classmates said the Innuits used the seal skin to make waterproof mittens
so yeah it was a great time going to the ROM and I think everybody else had lots of fun to!

At the Royal Ontario Museum, (ROM) I learned a few new things and enjoyed a lot of the museum. I enjoyed everything about the trip, but something thing I enjoyed was the Egyptian category. The lesson was interesting, especially when we saw mummies. Seeing the mummies really had me interested. When I saw the animals, I saw large and really cool ones. I also mistaken an elephant for a rhino (they look alike to me). The next this is, I enjoyed the bus ride there. The bus ride back I was tired, but the bus ride there was too exciting! As we got closer to Toronto, I was more and more intrigued with the tall buildings. I even eventually saw the Sean Tower! Next, seeing the bat cave was cool. I got to walk through a creepy cave with my friends and I heard sound effects, making the cave really cool! Finally, I enjoyed my team. I was with most of my friends, and it was exciting to travel the museum with them! These are the things I most enjoyed.

A few new things I learned was about the different cultures and dinosaurs. When my team and I approached the dinosaur section, we saw a lot of different types. I didn’t know they were that big, and that there was so much types. I knew very little about dinosaurs, but today I got see the different sizes and how they look. I also learned a little about the mummies, and how they were mummified and wrapped when they died. It was cool seeing and learning about them, and one new thing I learned is that when they die the mummy’s brain gets taken out. Overall these are the things I most enjoyed and learned!

The ROM was without a doubt the best field trip I've ever been on. It was really cool seeing the mummies and the bat cave (even though it was way smaller than i expected) was still so much fun! I loved looking at all of the sketotens of the dinosaurs because it made me think about how big they really were. (geez that brontosaurus was huge). And the fact that the vending machines had skittles. (they were delicous)(͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡ °)

anyway heres something i found for ya

At that ROM, I had a lot of fun. One of my favorite parts is when we went to go and see the dinosaurs, and when we saw this huge one(The picture on the front), when you looked up, you could see a giant Pterodactyl right above you. I also liked it when we stayed in the room where she left us, and I got to see all of the different types of dried up bugs on display. I liked this part because I thought it was cool to see how BIG some of the bugs were. I also liked the part when we saw a forest, and we had to try to find the 'missing' creatures loose in the forest; next to that, Aikam showed us a spot to go up a ramp, and if you went in a tunnel on the ground, you could pop your head up, and from the the spot on the ramp, it kinda' looks like the person in the tunnel was some sort of animal. I liked this part because when people poped there head up, it was funny.

And those where my highlights of The ROM

what i enjoyed most about the trip is that i got to explore things that where made and created millions of years before me and some hundreds. Something i learned on the trip was about mummification and how it was done it really impressed me.

What I enjoyed the most in The ROM was the place that had the bat cave. That area had so much fun activities, such as drawing animal foot prints. I loved how they had a little thing to keep the bees in. It was a glass covered hive and the bees were alive in it. Another reason is because they had this cool bat cave, not a real one though. It was really dark, but in a couple of seconds it would turn on a light and you can see some fake bats in the corner. The other fun place was the fox cave where you can peak up your head in a glass dome and you see a moose next to you. I also enjoyed the dinosaur place where there were lots of cool fossils and I loved that they had a microscope to look at some of them. The gigantic bone structures of the dinosaurs were so interesting to look at. It made me think how small I actually am compared to them.

What I learned at The ROM was about Egypt. One thing in Egypt we learned about is the mummy. There was a real one that was around 3000 years old. Egypt is a desert and is very hot and dry. The Nile is the people’s water source. We also learned about animals in Canada and got to look at some artifacts. It was so interesting to learn that most of the animals in the museum were real, meaning who died of natural causes and were stuffed. A cool fact is that The ROM is apparently the biggest museum in Canada.

My favorite part is when we got to see the mumification because they looked like a real person how it had all the body parts. It lasted for 5000 years. When i got to see how tall we were I learned that dinosoaurs are actually tinier you think.I learned how many gods there are. I learned about one Ancient Egyptian god and what they ruled.

The ROM was so fun and l loved the bus ride. I especially loved driving past my old neighbourhood. I used to live about 10 minutes away from the ROM before I moved to Burlington.

My favourite exhibit in the ROM was the bat caves. The bat cave was dark and it felt like you were in a real cave which was cool. l liked the hidden spots in the cave, where l hid and scared the people in my group .l also enjoyed the vending machines and the candy was really good. There was a lot of choices in the vending machine and it was so hard for me to choose what to buy so I ended up buying fuzzy peaches and a cookies and cream chocolate bar. My Mom was not the happiest that I spent so much money on candy.

l really like going on field trips and when we can do fun things like this because I learned a lot of things. One thing I learned was that a baby bat is called a pup like a dog. It was a great experience and I hope to go on more field trips this year.

I remember our trip to the ROM as it was the best one In grade 5 yet. I was in a group with Grady's grandma, Apollo, Grady, Benedict and me. We did a lot more than the another group's because Grady's grandmother spent a extra $23 on a attraction shout out to here by the way. Anyway were was I oh yes all of us in the group agreed that the best room was the gem room because of all its expensive finds. In conclusion the ROM was the best and my group was great.
