Last week, on Thursday the 6th of May, our whole 6th grade class went on a school trip
to the Met. A.K.A. the Metropolitan Museum of Art. At the Met. there was a young lady
named Barbara and she was really nice and knew a lot about the art. I thought
she was a very good leader because she taught me a lot about the museum and the
art inside it. I really liked how we got to look at some of the statues instead
of looking at pictures of them. I learned that if I saw a man who wasn’t wearing
clothing then he was an athlete. To me, I thought it was weird how the men didn’t wear
clothing. After learning about some of the famous people and looking at statues
of them we all were hungry and went for some lunch.
At lunch we went to a little fun place in Central Park, where there were benches that we could sit
on and eat our lunch but some of them were painted so we didn’t sit on those. After we all finished our lunch we went to a really big and fun play ground where we all ran around. At first Alex, Kate and I were being party poopers and didn’t feel like doing anything so we sat on a rock and watched the guys jump off the rocks and hurt themselves. After watching them fall and hurt themselves
we wanted to do the same so Alex went off first but Kate and I were too lazy to jump off so we didn’t. Kate and I had a lot of fun laughing at people fall off rocks and hurt themselves and we couldn’t stop laughing. Finally our teachers told us to get our stuff and get ready to head back to the museum to see more art. Our teachers handed all of us packets that had questions that were
about the museum and the statues.
After we were done with all the questions we went to a shop where they had some crazy
things like pencils, magnets, scarfs and other cool stuff. Some of the kids bought something but some didn’t. I bought some magnets so I could remember what I saw at the museum.
I really enjoyed seeing all of the statues and I hope we go there again because it
was a lot of fun!
