Year 4 City Excursion

At the end of last term, the year 4 students went on an excursion to the MCG and Eureka Skydeck. As we will be investigating different Australian landmarks, these two iconic Melbourne landmarks were a great introduction to our topic.

My heart was beating 1000 beats a minute as the lift went up, up, up to the 88th floor of the Eureka Skydeck.
Ding!
The doors parted and I stepped out to the beautiful view. I peered through the windows and shivered. It was so high up!

Did you know that the longest jump made in triple jump at the MCG during the 2006 Commonwealth Games was just over 17 metres?
When we went to visit the MCG we heard many awesome facts: the first official game of AFL footy was played in 1879, the most people held in the MCG was at the AFL grand final (Richmond vs Adelaide Crows) game and lastly, the longest hit by a cricket batsman at the MCG was hit by Simon O’Donnell. They have a yellow chair in the stadium to mark the distance.

Campbell

Whoa! The MCG pitch was so big. I wondered how the cricketers didn’t get tired when they ran on it during a game.
The MCG museum had so much history; it was unbelievable.
I pressed a button and I could hear a voice. It was a football player who spoke about how much he loved playing the game.

Whoosh!
Have you ever been in an elevator going 7 meters per second? Most likely not as the elevator we went on in the Eureka Tower is the fastest elevator in Melbourne.
As I reached the 86th floor, I was full of awe, looking down from the top floor. I heard children chattering about the amazing view. I felt the cold metal telescope as I gazed across Melbourne.
The view made me feel a little scared as I was looking down from the top of a 297 metre building.
