Trip to the museum

On the 16th of September tumu hub went to a Museum, we were there for the whole school day and everything we saw there was very beautiful and interesting. We heard a story about this Maori Green stone keeper and a Sandstone keeping about how they always used to fight each other and the Green stone keeper fell in love. So then Anthony gave us some time to have a look around in the room we were in and it showed the flightless bird and some people from 500 or 400 years ago catching them and cooking them. after we went into another part of the museum, and this time Anthony explained to us how the Maori language was never a written language but just an oral language. After he explained he let us examine the room we were in, Then he took us to this cool room where we got to do some activities like trying to start a fire with tool that the people used 500 or 600 years ago and the axe and some more!!  Please check out the photos of the Museum down bellow. 

After learning new things about the Maori culture we got to look around the museum and watch a mini movie.

O Le Malaga Fa'a'atua- The Journey Of The Gods

This morning, My hub and the kaupeka hub watched a play. It was called O Le Malaga Fa'A'atua or in English translation The Journey Of The Gods. The actors that did the play for us were Thalia, Jake, and Manu. The story is about an eel that turned into a coconut tree, Involving the most famous...MAUI. It was very funny and definitely a memory im pretty sure the whole tumu and kaupeka hub won't forget. Sadly we don't have any photos of the play because no photos were allowed to be taken, I'd like to give Thalia, Jake, and Manu a rally big thanks for coming to St Francis Of Assisi school and performing your play. I really enjoyed it and loved the part of where you were all making fun of Maui.

If you have seen them come to your school, what would your favourite part be?
