Town Trip Recount

On Thursday I went to Margaret Mahy with my hub at 9:30 AM. Once we got there everybody split off into their teams. First my team went to look at the mats. The mats were designed by professionals. They had Moari patterns on them telling a story. Next my group went to feed the tuna. Sadly, I didnt get into one of the first groups so I had to go at the end of all the activities. The people that weren`t feeding the tuna were either playing on the flying fox or going down the big slide. After a bit of playing everybody in Kohia got rounded up and we all got ready to go on the waka. After a while of practicing the movements and commands we got on to the waka. The waka was really fun. I saw some tuna and had a great time. Except for when my arms were hurting. Secondly, after a while of riding on the waka we got off and headed to Victoria Park. At Victoria Park Mrs Brown showed us the statues then all the students went to look around the park. I walked around with Alex. First we went to look at the telephone box then we looked a little closer at the statues. After a while Mrs Brown let us sit down to have our lunch. After eating our yummy snacks we went to the pou and tried to draw it. I think I did pretty well drawing it but my drawing wasn´t the best. Finally after trying to trace the pou my group headed back to look at stuff in Maragarat Mahy Park with Mrs Carney. Mrs Carney told us there were stories around the park by Margarat Mahy. After looking at the stories Mrs Carney gave us a little piece of paper and we all got into groups to go on a treasure hunt. My group found a couple of things but sadly we didn`t find all of them because Mrs Carney called us back in. Then she showed us where everything was. She gave us all a piece of paper and we grabbed some crayons. So we could put our paper on designs in the ground and rub our crayons over our paper to make cool pictures. Quickly after we were finished I sped over to feed the tuna with all the other people that missed out at the start. After that all the groups got rounded up and we all went to say thank you. After saying thank you and singing a song we started getting on the bus and left. My favourite part of the trip was going on the waka because it was really cool to just look in the water and see tuna swimming around. Also, I loved singing songs on the waka. Something I learnt was that female tuna are bigger than male tuna. Also that tuna only find out their gender at the age of ten. The thing I found the most interesting was that all the mats were different. This trip has helped me with my PBL because it helped me with understanding more about my turangawaewae. Also that It's given me some Ideas that I can say in my final create for PBL. In the middle of the school I could put stones with the names of each tree under each native tree.
