Visiting the Waikato Museum to learn about Matariki

We had to split into two groups so that half of Room 10 could visit the Museum with Tui Hub and the other half could visit the Museum with Kea Hub.  We enjoyed the walk there and back and we were very lucky with the weather.

At the Museum we listened to a couple of Maori myths.  One was about Matariki. Then we got to watch an audio/lighting show that depicted Matariki.  We were able to spend some time sketching the amazing patterns on the carvings around us and then create our own taonga out of clay to bring back to school.  Many thanks to our two parent helpers - Jennie and James.
