| 郷土資料館を見学しているところ Touring the Museum of Local History and Culture |
 郷土資料館に行って昔のことを調べてみましょう。 | Let's go to the Museum of Local History and Culture and find out about the past. |
| みんなで昔(むかし)の道具(どうぐ)を調(しら)べているうちに，この他(ほか)にも古い道具はないか知りたくなりました。 | When we were all finding out about old tools, we want to find out if there were other old tools. |
| そこで，古い道具などがたくさんかざってある町の郷土資料館に行くことにしました。見学してわかったことは，しっかりメモをとり，学校に帰ってからメモしたことを整理(せいり)しました。 | That's when we decided to go to the town's Museum of Local History and Culture, which had a lot of old tools on display. We took careful notes on what we found out on our tour and organized our notes when we got back to school. |
