Our Museum Trip

Last week, we went to the Museum and this is what we learnt...

We learnt about Waka and carving and so many interesting things.

These were some of the comments the students shared after our trip:

Did you know that a Waka was carved from an enormous tree - its HUGE!

Did you see all the carvings?

The feathers on the eyes of the waka are albatross feathers.

We heard a story about Matariki and there were heaps of lights and darkness

Did you know that the sculpture outside the museum is called 'The Tongue of the Dog'.

I liked making our own paper waka.
Here are our stories:
