On the 20th of May our hub went to Margaret Mahy and other places in town. We went there to learn about the story of Christchurch. We went to Margaret Mahy, mats (We only found 6/13) & tuna where we got to try and feed them in the Avon River. I was the only person in my group to feed one. We went on the Waka on the Avon river as well, then Victoria Square.
My favourite part of the trip was the Waka because it felt like we were a tribe in the Māori ages. We were shouting HI HA! We also got to sing Māori songs.
Something I learnt was that on the stone floor of Margaret Mahy there was a Māori song. The stone floor also showed a bunch of other designs including a kiwi footprint getting larger and larger. Something else I learned was that 3 of the mats in Christchurch were in Victoria Square
The thing I found the most interesting was everything on Margret Mahy playground told the story of the original two writers. They also tell a story that represents the Māori culture. In the olden days Victoria Square used to be a market.
This trip has helped me with my PBL because I have learned a lot about the Margaret Mahy, town and I learned all of that in a fun way.
What was your favourite part of the trip?
