Enjoy your weekend

Tena koutou katoa

We've had a fantastic day visiting the Museum of City and Sails.

Some of our favourite parts were watching the movie about the taniwhas' and Maui, especially when the taniwha's eye popped down from the ceiling. Philippa and Riley liked visiting the old ship store room filled with bales, smelly ropes, mice and sounds from when the first European settlers arrived in New Zealand from England. Benji particularly enjoyed it when he opened the curtain  of the porthole and saw a diver out the window! Marcel had fun finding the largest and smallest boats and we all loved touching the two Maori carvings; Maui and Kupe.

We also have some stories to share with you from this week. We had to choose a colour to write about and brainstorm all the things that we thought of when we thought about that colour. Then we had to add an adjective to the beginning and a verb to the end.
