The museum

By -
In-room 3 we went to the museum to learn about the stars and Matariki. This was my first time going to a museum so I was super excited!! When we walked in it looked amazing and I couldn't wait to get started! As we walked into the Maori history exhibition we went into a room with a huge, black dome, when we were all inside the dome a lady called Afena turned of the lights in there and taught us about the stars and their names. Did you know that a compass will bring you to the wrong direction? It will actually bring you to a magnetic direction. We spent half an hour in the dome but it was very interesting.Then we went into another room with Maggie and went over with what we learned. Luckily we looked in the Maori section and there was a lot of ancient history there. When we had to go back to school I didn't want to but I have to say it was a great trip !!

                     red and gold are old and cold !

In Room 4 we have been learning about ancient art and Egypt is one of the topics and so is hieroglyphics. Hieroglyphics are pictures , not letters and are spelt the way it sounds and not how it is spelt. We have also been doing some art of cartouches which are oval frames with rope on it to represent good luck. First we drew our cartouches in pencil. Next we went off to do our water colours.  Finally we went over in Indian ink. Here is my artwork.

           In room 3 we have been doing a new swimming technique called ¨ a reach rescue ¨. First we choose a buddy and one of them hop into the pool and pretend there in trouble. Secondly we got a pool noodle and fished it out to them for them to grab onto. Thirdly you drag them out of the water with the pool noodle. Fourthly you grab their arms and pull them out! That swimming  technique is a lot of fun!!
