Auckland Museum

On Monday we were lucky enough to go to the Auckland Museum as part of our inquiry unit on cultural diversity. 

We travelled to the museum on a double decker bus, which we thought was pretty exciting! We had so much fun exploring the museum and having a go at some of the hands on activities. We loved learning about the Wharenui and the stories behind the carvings, weavings and paintings. Our favourite story was the creation story about Ranginui and Papatuanuku, the earth mother and sky father. We also got to learn a haka - that was our favourite part!

A BIG thank you to all our wonderful parent helpers! This trip wouldn't have been possible without you! 
A special thank you also to Mrs Lovie (Amelia's mum) for the wonderful photos :)
