Today, all the students came to school except Adam and Arul. Today was special because we were going to Casa Loma. Adam had to go to take his tooth out of his ear. Our class had 6 adults. The adults were the parent volunteers. The other 2 classes didn't bring any adults to the field trip. Then we walked to the front of the school and we got on the bus. The ride took more than 45 minutes. We arrived at 10:00 am. When we got there I took pictures of the castle. It took 3 years to build it. It is more than 100 years old! But compared to Europe or Asia our castles are like a baby to Hong Kong's castles. Their castles are more than 8003 years old!! We went inside and went downstairs.
I still began to take pictures. We went to the washroom and we ate or snacks. I ate fruit-tips. Later, we went upstairs and saw a lot of rooms. They had lots of cool things like guns, bullets, air masks, and statues. We went into the bathroom and saw the toilet. It looked a bit differnt than ours. When I looked at the bathtup it was weird. It had so many pipes and there were 4 taps. If I lived in Medieval Times it would be hard to know which tap was which. I took pictures of the bathtup. Their light switches were bottons! There were beds and a piano.
At 11:30 we met at the great hall for a presentation for Medieval Life. They told us that there was a terrible disease called the Plague. If you got it and you snezzed and you breathed into it, you would have the plague. They told us that there was different kinds of foods. Then we went to the other side of the room to see the weapons on Medieval Times. Kinghts wore chainmail. It was very heavy. If there was a normal sword it could not cut through the chainmail. But if someone used a very sharp sword and slashed it could make the knight injured. The use of chainmail was to prevent arrows from hitting them. If they were wearing them the arrow would just hit the chainmail and be stopped completly. But if the chainmail was made very well the arrow would just bounce of the chainmail and head toward the shoters. The chainmail was very exspensive but sharp swords could cut through it. The man choose one of our classmates and he but the chainmail through the classmate. Then he picked up a sword and began cutting. Guess what? We gasped. We hopped he was alright. The man asked him if he was alright. The classmate told everyone that he couldn't feel a thing! Then he tried to cut faster but he still couldn't feel a thing!
AFter, we went to the secret tunnel. It was 18 metres under the ground and it was cold and dark. I gasped. It was so long! He told us that it was from Stonebridge to the cloest Sobeys walk! We walked through the tunnel. We screamed and yelled! It was so loud because there were lots of echos.
We went to the flower garden. There was a special tree. It was a tree that lots of people had seen at florida.
After a while we went to the stables. The wood was real wood.
At 12:30 we went to the garage to have our lunch. I had my hot dog and apples. After we finished we finished our tour and went to the gift shop. I didn't have any money so we left it. Then we got on the bus and went back to school. I felt very happy and I learned a lot of things.
