Museum Trip
Yesterday, everyone went to the museum. The whole reason was to learn more about innovation and Maori history and how it changed. We first started by examining some tools that they used such as fish hooks and real life dioramas. Next we headed to the second exhibit which was also linked to the first which was full of clothes and things just like in the first one and when we finished he were taught to do activities. The activities were to draw Maori characters, polish rocks, make a waka, drill, carve and make fire. We all split into groups and my group first drew Maori characters, the second thing we did was carve in a bizarre way by moving the tool and hitting it repeatedly with a mallet to make a shape. The third thing we did was rock polishing which was really muddy since we had to rub rocks on a wet giant rock. The 4th activity was to use a pounamu, green-stone axe to hit the log ten times before passing it on the next person so we could make a waka, boat. The second to last activity was to drill, where we had to tie a string across a sort of spinning toy which was tipped with some pounamu and we had to repeatedly pull it back and forth on some wood which would supposedly make a hole. Then, finally.. I got to try to make FIRE! You were supposed to rub a eye shaped gap on a piece of wood with a little smooth circular stick of wood and hopefully the friction would make fire and it did! I had actually made fire, actually I was just joking. I didn't make fire. After we finished all the activities, we got to explore more of the museum and some highlights for me would be the paua shell house, geodes and maybe throw in climbing the big tree in there, with the fountain too. Ooh! Also the fire! I don't know why I was excited for the fire, but maybe it was just because it was fire?
