Museum Trip

Today we visited the Auckland Museum with Room 23.  We had an awesome time exploring through the galleries and observing the incredible artifacts, artworks and objects, especially in the Maori section.  We made sketches of things that interested us, which we will use to help inspire when we create our own art works.  We enjoyed our time with the educators teaching us about Maori legends and the different parts of the Maori meeting house and the art works within it.

We all enjoyed the Maori culture show, which included beautiful singing, poi and te rakau demonstrations and a spine-tingling haka!

Thanks to all the wonderful parents who helped us on this trip.  We are so grateful that you could come along!
