trip recount

hello this is my document all about when my hub went to Margaret mahy

20th May 2021 Trip

On may 20th tumu hub went to margaret mahy playground and victoria square .The waka was fun because

we got taught how to paddle and hold the oar.It was kind of funny coz Mrs Bryce was feeding the eels with

cat food/jelly meat.It was fun when we were drawing the poe at victoria square.I thought the design of the

poe was cool because they used paua shells for the shiny eyes.


My favourite part of the trip was the waka because the boys had less people but still got back to shore

before the girls.I think that the boys won because we are TOUGHER than the girls.the waka looked cool

because it had a statue at the front and a statue at the back.


Something I learnt was that the māori people traded food at victoria square.I even learned that Ō takaro

means avon river and that victoria square used to be a market.hello


The thing I found the most interesting was the carvings on the rocks at margaret mahy because I never

knew that they have a meaning.I even thought that the fact eels only know what gender they are until

they are 10 years old.also I thought that the poes were cool because of their carvings and designs. 


This trip has helped me with my PBL because I learned a few things about margaret mahy and victoria

square.and I learned about maori culture.
