On Thursday the 20th our hub Tumu hub went to Margaret Mahy for our PBL. We learned about the art that was engraved into the ground and we also went to Victoria Square where we fed the eels and went on the waka. It was lots of fun.
When we arrived at Margaret Mahy the first thing me and my group did was look for mats with our teacher and the mats tell a story and you can even see some montines and patterns
Next we went to the waka and got put into two lines and a buddy my buddy was freya I went left side and freya went on the right side and there was a chant It went hi ha It was very fun
After that we got to go to Victoria Square and we had to find some facts. Me and Freya found out that Queen Victoria was born on may the 26.
Soon after we went back to the playground and we did a scavenger hunt it was hard and then we had to do a drawing or Trace a drawing me and freya did 3 it was lots of fun
My favourite part of the trip was the waka because I learnt how to use a paddle and a waka.
Something that I learnt was that there is a big circle around the playground and there were words around the circle and it was a song written by Margaret Mahy.
The thing I found the most interesting was that the mats and in a brick house the brick is on sideways but on the mat they are put long ways up.
This trip has helped me with my PBL because it is based on Ōtautahi because of the native trees and bush around the place and all the birds on the poles and trees
Has your school ever been on a school trip?
