Dixon House Visit

 Dixon House Visit 

On Tuesday at 12:55, we went on a bus to Dixon's house for a special visit and the class read books and I read to two people and it was such a cool experience for our class to do. It was really outstanding. I wish the school would visit there again another time and every class was given the chance to but none of them did so only our class when and we got a little bit of baking at the end. But too bad for the other classes because it was international read a book day organized by Tai Poutini Polytechnic  

How did it make me feel?

Well, when I got on the bus I was feeling anxious because I did not know if it would go well or not. When I got there it was a different feeling. I felt good and happy and I made some really strong connections with the people and one lady had a mumbly voice and it was alright because I could understand her really well. In the end, it was a great visit and I would love to do it again and so would some other kids in my class. They were scared at the start but then they got used to it and felt really happy talking to people that were complete strangers.

What did I enjoy the most about the visit?

Well, the whole visit was really amazing but the part I enjoyed the most was talking with old strangers and getting to know them pretty well. They had some amazing stories about themselves like they were never really sporty when they were much younger and I don't like sports much but so there was a connection to each other. Well to bad for the other classes that got the choice to go but they didn’t want to go there were so many lovely people there to talk to make connections with and no one else in the school wanted to go but my class and the Polytech made us some little treats so it was cool 

What I learned from the Dixon house visit?

Well what I learned from the whole visit was that that there were some really outstanding people there and that I learned that there is more older woman there then men there are only about 6 men and like 9 or 10 women that live there and some of the woman don’t like it there because they have to be looked after and cared for but lots of people have to be there for other reasons like they can not walk or talk or move or anything.
