We traveled to Medicine Hat to the Esplanade to watch Tarzan the play and to Police Point Park. We left at 9:00 am to travel to Medicine Hat. My favourite part of the Tarzan play was that the gorilla mom took care of a little baby named Tarzan. The part I didn’t enjoy was that the lion killed Tarzan ‘s parents. Tarzan’s costume was fine but we discussed why he wears a skirt because he lives in the jungle in Africa and it is hot there. The lady in the yellow dress was a bit strange. Her name was Jane. At Police Point Park we made a Blackfoot tepee. At school we Skyped with Buffalo Bill and we learned what the Native Americans used the buffalo for. We learned buffalo fur is used for huge rugs and some blankets. The bones are used for making tools. The horns are used for a spoon and for scooping soup. I really enjoyed the field trip!

We traveled to Medicine Hat for a field trip with grades 2-6 students. First we went to the Esplanade to watch the play Tarzan. When the play started all the lights turned off. There was music playing, then the curtains opened. I enjoyed the part where Jane stayed with Tarzan in the jungle where they fell in love. I didn’t like where the leopard killed Tarzan’s parents and when Jane’s skirt fell down. There were people in the background dressed up as trees. I could hardly see them because they were camouflaged. The costume I didn’t really like was the gorilla’s costume because some had lots of fur and some hardly had any. My favourite costume was the leopard’s because I really like leopard spots. Tarzan didn’t have very much clothes on. We talked about why he wore those clothes. The reason is that it is hot in the jungle of Africa. I have seen the movie Tarzan a few times but the play was way different. They skipped the part where Tarzan has to get an elephant hair and almost kills the gorillas. They also skipped the part where Jane gets chased by baboon. I still enjoyed the play.
After Tarzan we went to Police Point Park. We went inside the building and sat around a buffalo hide. We helped a lady carry all the blankets outside with our partners. Annie was my partner. We went outside and put all the blankets on the table and stood in a line. We where first in line to carry a long stick which the Native Americans used to build there tipi. Once the tipi had all the sticks around it we covered it with buffalo hide. We put blankets inside on the floor. Each partner went inside and sat down. The boys sat on one side and the girls sat on the other. She told us what the Native Americans used from a buffalo. They used every part. The bladder was used to carry water for the men when they went hunting. She also told us that the women where in charge of the tipi and that they could make the men sleep outside if they wanted to. Police Point Park was very fun! The bus came to pick us up then we went home. The field trip was amazing!

Grade 2-6 went on a field trip to Medicine Hat to watch Tarzan and only the grade fours went to Police Point Park. First we went to watch Tarzan . I enjoyed when Jane and Tarzan fell in love in the rain forest. I didn’t enjoy it when the leopard killed Tarzan’s parents. The leopard’s costume were incredible. My favourite costume was the leopard’s costume because my second favourite animal is a leopard. I really like the spots on the leopard. My least favourite costume was the gorilla’s costume because gorillas are my least favourite animal. I’ve watched Tarzan twice in my whole life. After Tarzan we went to Police Point Park. We had to eat fast on the bus. When we got to Police Point Park a lady talked to us about buffaloes because that is what Native Americans used to build their tipis. When she was finished talking about Native Americans , we built a tipi too. It was fun because Heidi and I were partners. Heidi and I were the first ones to put a pole on the tipi. When our class was finished the tipi we put blankets in the tipi. Our class went into the tipi and the girls sat on one side and the boys on the other side. When we where go out of the tipi we had to clean it up. It was a fantastic field trip!

Medicine Hat Tarzan
We went to the Esplanade, which is a museum and we watched the play, “Tarzan”. It’s about Tarzan is lost in a jungle in Africa. He also met kind gorillas, but the father gorilla didn’t really like that he was in the family because he thought he was dangerous.The father gorilla’s name was “Kerchak.” There was also a kid gorilla from the gorilla family. He was very nice to Tarzan. Tarzan also met a girl named Jane. Jane and Tarzan fall in love. It was a long play.
We also went to Police Point Park and we made a huge teepee. We had to be with partners to make the teepee. It was kind of hard to make with all the big sticks. We had to put some different kind of buttons to hold the teepee door. The teepee was very large and warm inside. They had lots of blankets to put in the teepee. They also had a blanket of a buffalo hide from a huge buffalo. The blankets were very warm. The woman also talked about how First Nnations made their clothes, blankets, knives, and things to write with. They also made horns to blow in so they could catch the buffalos. They blew in the horns so the buffalos would come near them and some other First Nations would dress up like wolves so they would go to the edge of the cliff. It was very interesting. I enjoyed the field trip! 🙂

We went to the play called Tarzan in Medicine Hat at the Esplanade. It was amazing. We got to see Tarzan start out as a child to an adult living with gorillas. A sad part was when a leopard named Saber kills the parents, but Tarzan kills Saber and the jungle is safe. Then humans come to the jungle in Africa and Tarzan meets a girl named Jane and they fall in love. I really liked the costumes, however, the monkey costumes were not realistic, but the leopard and Tarzan’s costumes were realistic. I wish I could see the whole play all over again. It was awesome how Tarzan jumped from platform to platform. I really enjoyed how they had Tarzan fight with the leopard and win. If I could be in the play I would be a gorilla. I didn’t enjoy how it took so long to switch out the background, but I still enjoyed the show. I hope they put the show on again and we get to go to it again next year.
