Margret Mahy Trip.

Kia ora on the 20th of May me and my hub went into the city with my hub for our PBL. This is a recount about what happened. First me and my group went to Victoria square. We saw some really cool things like statues, water fountains and we also saw a big beautiful pou. Our task was to draw a little bit of the pou it was quite a challenge with all the little details. Next we went to Margret Mahy playground, when we got there we went on a scavenger hunt to look for a few things. After we had a look at all the art on the ground there were some amazing things that I had not noticed before. Our task was to tras over some of the art with crayons and paper. Soon after we went to look at some mats that were placed in the city after the 2011 earthquakes. We were not able to look at all 13 mats but we did look at number 11, 12 and 13 Just after looking at the mats we went to feed the Tuna which are eels, I fed a big one. I think it was female because females are bigger than the males. I learnt a lot about tuna, like how Tunas do not find out their gender until they are 10-12 years old ,And they can only travel up to 1km per hour.# Then we went on this huge Waka which is a canoe. It was such a cool experience being able to be on a real waka with lots of people. We learnt how to use the aors . We went up and down a part of the Avon river. It was very tiring on my arms but still really fun. Some of my favourite parts of the trip was tracing over some art in Margeret Mahy and feeding the Tuna. It was so exciting. Something I learnt was That the Margaret Mahy playground used to have a pool on its grounds named after one of Margret Mahy's friends Elsie Locke. The thing I found the most interesting was learning the story behind all of the mats around the city. This trip has helped me with my PBL because I have so many ideas like, to have some mats around our school in front of each of the hubs to welcome people into our Hubs, and along with the mats we can have some maps to find more mats around our school just like the ones in the city.



Have you ever been to the Christchurch city?

  2. Kia ora Beth,
    I really like the font you have you used and also like the facts you have put in. Maybe next time maybe next time you could put a little bit more punctuation.
    I remember when I went to Margret Mahy. What was your favourite activity?

  4. Hi Beth,
    I liked the part when you talked about the tuna because that was my favourite part of our trip.
    Next time maybe you could add a little bit more of what you found interesting.
    Great job with using paragraphs.

    I have been to the Christchurch city before.

    What mat did you like the most?
