My Pou

Tuia Matauranga

Yesterday on 22/10/2020 my class and Te Kauru Went to Taipa area school to see a road show and to learn about voyaging. When we got to school we did karakia and mihi then we hopped in the bus.We got to Taipa at around 9.30 am.  My class Te Manga  went in first. We had to sit on a mat and talk about the stars and to learn about them.After that we could go and do some activity's like make a waka,do our bingo sheet,put a circle sticker on the wall,take photos,learn about voyaging and the VR set. The first thing that Koda,Alani and I did was do some stuff onto our bingo sheet and while we were doing the bingo sheet we were doing some sketching and finding some information to put in the bingo sheet.Next I put a circle sticker on the wall and after that I got a scarf . The people that worked there told us to go on the mat again to have talk. Then we sang our school song.

Then we walked to the beach to have lunch.We finally got there and we sat down to have lunch.After we had lunch we went back to school.
