On Thursday Tumu Hub went to Margaret Mahy Playground and we had 4 activities. The 4 activities were a ride on the waka, Victoria Square, Margaret Mahy Playground, the Maori mats on the concrete and feeding the eels.
The first one that I did in my team was the waka.The waka was fun. My friends and I made a song about the waka but sadly me and my team had to leave for the next rotation. Then we went to Victoria Square. We looked at all of the sculptures and some pou. Mrs Carney took the next activity. We had a scavenger hunt and we had to find some carved objects on the ground. At Mrs Bryceś activity we looked at the mats carved in the ground and we fed the eels. The eel took my spoon.
My favourite part of the trip was going on to the waka because me and my friends made a song about the waka.
Something I learnt at the Avon river is cold Ōtākaro in Maori.
The thing I found the most interesting was the mats because they have patterns with different colours and meanings.
This trip has helped me with my PBL because we saw some pou and we are going to design some for our school.
Did you learn anything from my blog post?
