On Wednesday, 6th of December, Stage three (Year Five and Year Six) travelled to Luna Park in Sydney for an excursion. The point of this excursion was to learn to calculate different dimensions and qualities of certain rides. For instance, the speed of which one ride travels, the total number of people that can ride in it, etc. 

We caught a bus through Sydney, across the Harbour Bridge, and finally, to arrive at Luna Park. We were given wristbands so that with a scan we were admitted onto a ride. The teachers that accompanied us handed out maths work booklets for us to fill out. We were lucky enough to be able to complete a maths task and then be allowed to take a turn on whichever ride we pleased within that vicinity. 

Most children took a turn on many of the rides, such as the Valloré, the Tango Train, the Boomerang or Big Dipper (both of which are roller coasters), the Ferris Wheel and so many more thrilling rides. Within the premises, there were food, souvenir, showbag and many more shops and viewing points to be enjoyed.

The students that took part in the educational trip to Luna Park, Sydney really enjoyed the memorable experience and we hope that the classes of stage three to come will be as privileged as we have been in being able to attend this Amusement Park.
