Last Wednesday we went down to the Te ahu building and into the museum.We had to walk from our school through the town and to the Te ahu building. We were all excited to see all of the history of the far north. for the whole term we have been learning about local and New Zealand history like the wars and the Te tiriti o Waitaingi and other stuff.
As we arrived their was a lady standing at the the bench waiting for us. We got into groups of 4 and lined up.She introduced herself and said, ¨hello my name is Whina I work in the museum¨ then she gave us a piece of paper ¨ so we are going to have a hunt you are going to find these things on the paper and record what you saw okay?¨So we went off looking for what we needed to we read what they said and recorded what we saw. We saw a lot of things like the Maori cloaks the copy of the pa the Maori village and the anchor off the saint jean Baptiste ship and the kauri gum and a whole lot more.After all of that we went to her office and we gave her the paper she gave us a massive block of kauri gum and she told us to smell it and to tell her what it smelled like I said it smelled like honey. We sat on the ground and we marked the paper. After that we went back to school it was so fun my favorite thing was the anchor of the saint jeans babteste ship.
Have you been to your local museum before? comment down what you saw.
