This week, as part of our inquiry into Navigation and Migration we visited the Waikato Museum. We were lucky to go on the school bus to the museum. First we had some lunch together on the riverbank and we watched the old jetty get demolished. Then Elaine, from the museum, met us and told us a story about the Tongue of the Dog while she got some of our classmates to perform the story. Then we went inside the museum and watched a programme about about celestial sailors and migration. Next, we watched a video about Ranginui (Sky Father) and Papatuanuku (Earth Mother). After that, we looked around the museum and learnt about Te Winika. We then made our own pou to take home. We had a fantastic time. Many thanks to our wonderful parent helpers, we couldn't do without them.
Here is a collage of our day.
