Town Trip

 On Thursday the 20th May Tumu Hub went to Margaret Mahy playground. We had four rotations. The first one was on the mat at  Margaret Mahy playground. The second one was feeding the tuna, The third one was going on the waka and the fourth one was going to Victoria Square.

My favourite part of the trip was At 12 o'clock. I went on the waka to Margaret Mahy playground. I liked going on the waka because I saw the slimy eels and I got splashed by the water and I liked  padding in the boat. At the end  my hand started to hurt.

Something I learnt was around the middle of the playground there was a black mat that had storys on it and songs. Around the black mat, there are native plants, there were also native bird footprints.

The thing I found the most interesting was the black mat around the middle of the playground and that it had songs and stories on it. 

This trip has helped me with my PBL because I learnt what you can have on a pou and for the waka what designs it has on it 

Question: Have you ever been to Margaret Mahy? And if so, what was your favourite part about it?

Sidney's Magnificent Te Reo

We have been learning about using as much kupu (words) as we can so we can get better at the Māori language. Māori is important to our country because it is our language. For my task we needed to make a conversation using as many kupu as possible. Here is the learning I did for this week.

How many kupu do you know in Te Reo?
