Trip To Town

Yesterday we went into town on 2 buses. When we got there we walked into Victoria Square, and sat down and Nogo talked about the things that are in Victoria Square. 

Like..

- Weeping Willows

- Captain Cook

- Queen Victoria

- Pou (Maori)

- How Maori used to use Victoria Square as a market place to exchange their stuff for other things like tuna, equipment. 

After he finished talking about all the things that were set or were there, we had to do this worksheet where we had to draw and answer these questions: 

We had to fill out all these questions with drawings or the answers to the questions. We had to go around Victoria Square and do all the tasks. 

Some of the tasks were we had to design a better phone box and label it, design our own Pou, draw a sketch of Weeping Willows, design how the Queen Victoria would look in modern times, Sketch our own Pou, Recreate a better statue of Captain Cook, design a better plaque, sketch a new design using patterns of your own. When you'd finish you had to go onto another task.

After an hour or two we got our lunch delivered and ate them, after we had finished with our lunch we had to line up into three lines and walk down to Town Hall to watch Tumahana. We walked up these red stairs up to where the seats were set out and had to sit down. The lights went all dark and the show started to begin. The people who were performing were swinging around on ropes and hula hoops. And the story was about Takaroa, Papatuanuku, Rakinui. 

My opinion on the show is that, it was good and the story line was set out really good, and I actually got the story instead of not knowing what was going on.
