SS Great Britrain

Today we went to see the SS Great Britain. It is a big ship. It is old.

There were really good displays that showed us what it was like on the ship. The ship sailed from Bristol  to Australia.
We got to see the engine and to pretend to steer the ship. it was hard work. You needed 2 people.

We had challenges to do. One of the things we had to do was make a bed and lie in it. The beds were narrow and hard to get into. They were bunk beds. There used to be rats on the ship.

 There were chickens, cows and pigs on the ship to feed the people. There was a model of the kitchen with food and dirty dishes.

There was a big dining room. It

was only for the rich people in 1st class. The food was set out very prettily with jellies and things. The rich people's rooms were nicer.

Outside the boats were all the things in the docks. There was a horse and carriage.

The ship was cool. Holly's favorite part was model of the lady who had a baby on board. Aidan's favourite part was the kitchen with the cat chasing the rats.
