On Friday we travelled to Ottawa to go to The War Museum. We took a bus to get there. It was 2 hours each way!!!

We went to a workshop at the war museum about the battle of the Plains of Abraham. We learned that the British, the French, and the First Nations were involved in the Plains of Abraham. There were 6 chests full of different artifacts from that time.  We saw the British flag, the uniform that a British soldier would wear, and we saw some of the tools he might have carried. We also saw the uniform worn by the French and were able to hold some silver medallions.

After lunch we got to tour the museum. Some of us toured the Vimy Ridge exhibit. Most of us went to the LeBreton Gallery which is a room full of military vehicles. We saw a giant plane that was displayed in the air! We also saw some tanks, medical vehicles, torpedos, and other military vehicles. It was really cool!! For our art assignment, we had to sketch something that interested us at the museum. Most of us chose to sketch one of the military vehicles.

We had a lot of fun at the war museum!
