Yesterday the whole senior block went on a trip to Maritime Museum. It was such a amazing experience learning about Maori history and being on a Waka named Honui (the waka). On the way to the Museum we only had one bus to go in so we were packed with a bus full of 70+ kids all crowded, but we made it there with no fuss. Arriving there they greeted us with a welcome song and we sang our school waiata back! We had an amazing time exploring the museum and doing the fun scavenger hunt challenges in groups of 4-6 finding cool objects and items that have interesting back stories. My favorite part of the day was being on the waka as the supervisors told us hilarious stories about Honui (the waka) and where they went with Honui. Ending the day off, they treated us with small wooden waka toys to create and put together, it was a thrilling, fun and exhausting day to be at Maritime Museum!
