Challenge #14 - Māori Place Names

 Māori Place Names

Year 7&8 Museum Trip

 

To learn the teachings of our tupuna (ancestors) and the history of New Zealand's native people and their land.

This week the yr 8 & 7 boys went on a trip to the aukland war memorial museum to discover the information and history of moari/kapa haka. We met in the hall with Mr ogilvie, Mrs Pride, Mrs Fisiahi matua Ngrimu and matua Kingi.

Museum

After we all met we started to line up and walked into the bus. While we were in there, everyone practiced the words of kamate. When we arrived we entered the back of the museum. When we were exploring I saw a lego rocket ship and a lego sailing boat. We went in the dining room to have some snacks then went into the maori history section. Matua kingi gave us some questions to answer and we had to explore to find out. Then we went into the hotonui and learnt about the carvings and the art and we also learned what they represent. Then we started to continue searching for the answers. When it was lunch we had pizza and we had to find a partner to share it with.

Taiaha

After that we started to walk down the pukekawa hill then we had to walk around a field. After that matua Ngarimu taught us how to use a taiaha and this included eight steps. After we did them we did the whole thing using all eight steps. Then we packed all the taiha up and went back on the bus to go back to PBS.

I enjoyed the museum because we learnt a lot of things in the Marae which was called hotonui and I also found the quiz hard barbecue there were answers that I forgot.
