Ki Ora Welcome to my blog this is my writing from when my class tumu went into town to go on a waka and search for Maori designs in the park and the feed the eels. Have you ever seen eels.
I hope you like my writing?
On May the 20th 2021 Tumu Hub went on a trip to the Margaret Mahy playground. We had four activity rotations including going on a Waka in Ōtakaro (Avon River) with Miss Hansen, A scavenger hunt to find designs with Mrs Carney, feeding the Eels and looking at the Traditional Maori Mats with Mrs Bryce and exploring Victoria Square with Mrs Brown.
My favourite part of the trip was the waka because we got to row the waka and when we were on the waka we learned alot about the history of the avon river.
Something I learnt was that there are more than 200 species of eels.
The thing I found the most interesting was that all the designs on the ground have meanings.
This trip has helped me with my PBL because I learned about how life was before me and all the history of christchurch. I think we could include some art of the eels in our school because that's what the Māori survived on in the early days.
