Our trip to Puke Ariki

Here's some writing from the students of Room 3 about the trip to Puke Ariki.

Puke Ariki

We went to Puke Ariki and we learnt about Puanga.  We also learned about war and we dressed up in different things.  

In Puanga we learnt about the seven stars and about hangi.  We put the food in the basket.  We put dirt on top of the basket.  We put meat and vegetables and we cooked it in the ground and we will make lanterns.  It was very very fun.  We put vegetables in the hole.  You don't have to eat it.  

Beetlejuice looks red.  Puanga is the brightest star ever.  When we went to Puke Ariki, we went in a cool, little room.

Puke Ariki

We saw a star at Puke Ariki and a teacher took us to a room to teach us about the war.  We put costumes on and we saw the seven stars and one was called Puanga.

Matariki

We are learning about Matariki and the seven stars.  We are studying Matariki.  If you look up at the sky you will see the seven stars and you will see the sisters. 

We went to the museum.  It was fun.  We learnt more about Puanga and Beetlejuice and it was really fun.  

I like the museum  I think my friend Briar liked is too because I like to go to the museum.  It was fun.

Matariki and our Puke Ariki visit

A long time ago people used the stars to help them go to another place.  People made pictures with the seven stars.  The stars are sisters.  One of the stars is the big sister.  The seven stars come out at six o’clock at dawn.  Matariki is a time to make plans for the future. 

We went to Puke Ariki.  Puke Ariki is a museum.  Then we went to Michelle and Keri.  First we looked at Puanga and Beetlejuice.  Next we went around the gallery.  We found things like fishing rods, something like an anchor and a red bowl.  Next we played three games.  One of them is Hipitoitoi.  Then we went on the bus and go back to school.

Yesterday I liked Matariki the most.  

We played a game.  We did all of these things.  We played a game called Tu Tama.  It was the best game.

The Trip

At Puke Ariki we did a hangi together.  We went to the museum.  We learnt about ANZAC at the museum and we dressed up.  Beetlejuice is a red star.  Orion’s Belt is the three stars in the middle.  There are a kite with a face.  It looked like a bird.  We went to the gallery in the musem.  It was like our class.  We made a hangi and we put dirt in it.
