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.

Hi welcome back to my blog.
For reading and writing in Week 5, I learnt how to do a quality blog post. Below the slide, I will show you how to do a quality blog post.
You need a catchy title, a good introduction, you need to make sure the sentences make sense and you need to reflect on your learning. You must end with a question because this will help your reader to enjoy your blog more.
Please enjoy and what do you think of this?
This week our goal for Reading was to find out our Team names which are all named after Trees and Shrubs. It was interesting learning about the different Native Trees and Shrubs (Rata, Kohia, Koriokia and Mania. I made a slide show and I enjoyed making it. Do you know any facts about these Native Plants? Can you guess the trees and the shrubs?>
