On 20th of May Tumu Hub went on a town trip to Margaret Mahy. We all had to do activities in our teams. The activities were Waka, Victoria square, Tuna and Mats.
My favourite part of the trip was tracing the etchings on the ground. There were tracings on the ground of pictures from when the Māori people came to New Zealand. We had a piece of paper and a crayon to put on the ground on top of a carving.
Something I learnt was there are stories that are on the ground that are a bit hard to find but they tell a story. There is a picture of Tuna on the ground in the water playground and there were birds on the metal poles beside the water playground from The artists from Ngai Tahu. Many of the seats were shaped as a waka from when the Māori people came.
The thing I found the most interesting was the land at Margaret Mahy Playground used to be a pool with a gym and there used to be some markets there. But then they changed it into a family playground.
This trip has helped me with my PBL because now it is going to be easy to bring more Māori artwork into the school and to label things in Māori like the trees and the native things.
