2. The Giant 10 Cent Coin
My grandparents took
my brother and I to the
city. We saw a giant 10
cent coin that
represented a possible
recycling solution by
paying people 10 cents
for every plastic bottle.

3. Arriving at the Museum
When we arrived at
the museum, we saw
this skeleton of a dog.

4. The Chinese History
We found out that at
first, the Australian
people didn’t like the
Chinese people, but over
time the Australian
people finally accepted
the Chinese people.

5. Chinese Inventions
We saw that the Chinese people had
invented many things including musical
instruments and Chinese lanterns.

6. Aboriginal Tools
We also found out that
the Aboriginal people
used tools, including nets
and buckets.

7. The First Fleet Ships
I got to see what
the First Fleet
Ships looked like.

8. The World’s Mixtures
Before we went
outside, we went to
see the world’s
mixtures including
sugars and many
other mixtures.

9. The Chinese Plants
When we came out of
the Museum, there
was a Chinese garden
with Chinese plants
such as bok choy.
