Class trip Waitangi

Class Trip

 On a wonderful Wednesday, we had our school trip.  We were going to Waitangi. When I arrived at school Whaea Jorja was writing names on the board about what cars we were in.  I was in Gene's car with Daetyn, Zoe, and Connor.  It was a blast! When we arrived, we ate our morning tea on the grass. 

After that, our leader - Whaea Imogen-  came to give us stickers. Also,  she explained what we were going to do. Further more, we walked to the museum and put our bags in a bag cage. Then we got our first question which was:  
How many years has it been since New Zealand had people living here?
1.  3 million Yrs
2.  1 million Yr
3. 8 million Yrs

 (We got in our car groups  to work it out.)

We kept on walking and saw Captain Cook and he was the first European in New Zealand. He was from France and other people came from over seas to explore our country.

At 12.00 pm, we split us up into groups. Whaea Sharee took a group and showed them the marae. She explained about this carving. It was brown and smooth like chocolate. Its name was Hine- Amaru and she was a Mum who gave birth from her armpit. Meanwhile, Whaea Imogen was drawing signs about what you like. 

Finally, we went to go and see the waka called Ngatokimatawhaorua. It was as big as cow.After that, we went the cars and drove back to school.
