Trip to the Auckland Museum - Thursday 26 May 2022
What an amazing trip we had today.
When we got to the museum we had morning tea outside in the sunshine. Then we went to look at the Maori canoes, meeting house and all the carvings around the walls. We took off our shoes and went inside the meeting house and the students talked about what they know about Matariki. Gabriel told us a story about how the stars got into the sky. Some of the students were chosen to be part of the story and act it out. We sang a waiata and did the actions as well. The students sat around balls of light and these were the stars of Matariki. We made actions and used instruments for the sounds. Each child was given a poi and they made a song and dance using the poi.
After that we had lunch then we had time to visit other areas of the museum.
Enjoy looking at the photos:
