my Margaret mahy playgroud Town Trip Recount

 My Margaret Mahy Playground Town Trip Recount 

 On Thursday the 20th of May Tumu hub set off to go to Margaret Mahy playground. I was excited to get there! It takes 15 minutes to get there. When we got to Margaret Mahy playground I got off the bus. Crazy! First we went to the first activity which was the waka. Some activites we did were feeding eels and going on a waka and looking at the at Māori mats

You can go to Victoria Square and look at old Māori statues and maps.

My favourite part of the trip was the waka because I liked looking at the native plants. I like rowing and I had a lot of fun!!

Something I learnt was that the playground made it like a place with farms and Mountains.

The thing I found the most interesting because I never knew Maori made patterns like this.

This trip has helped me with my PBL because it was really interesting to look at all the patterns and the playground form.
