Memorable School Moment - Lost In The Museum.


In Grade 5, all of the classes traveled to Victoria for a field trip to tour the Parliament Buildings, Wax Museum and the Royal British Columbia Museum. While we were touring the Royal British Columbia Museum, my friend and I decided to take a tour of the undersea exhibit. We did not know how much time we had before we had to meet up with the rest of the classes in order to go for our tour of the Parliament Buildings. So we decided to take the tour anyway and hope that we could be finished in time to meet up with the classes.
We took the tour, enjoying every minute of the interesting tour, but with a slight feeling of anxiety building within us because we did not really know exactly how long the tour had been going for, and the fact that we did not know what time it was because both my friend and I did not have a watch with us.
The tour finally ended and we started looking around the floor that we were on for leader hoping that we were on time and everyone wasn’t waiting for us. With growing panic we started running through the museum searching for anyone from our group. We stopped running around to try and find out exactly where in the museum we were, but we realized we did not recognize anything, and that we were lost in a giant museum.
After around what seemed like an eternity of wandering around not knowing where we were, we finally somehow came to the main doors of the museum and triumphantly, we exited the museum with grins on our faces. The teachers and parent leaders were not so happy and did not have grins on their faces. We had been missing for around 25 to 30 minutes, and the whole time they had been searching for us all over the museum. It was all my friend and I could do to hold in our laughter, we thought that the whole situation was very funny, but obviously the teachers and parents thought otherwise.

Oh boy way to give the teachers a heart attack! I remember that field trip, I got lost too and we had two tickets and if we were good, we could keep them and trade them in for candies when we got back, but I got both of my tickets taken away so I didn't get any candies haha.

I'm glad I wasn't supervising that field trip! When students go missing, at that age, I get a wee bit nervous! Glad you found your way back!
