Our Trip to the Museum

We are dressed up in olden day clothes. We had fun at the museum.

Our Walk to Queens Gardens & Albion Square

Here we are outside the old fire station.

We are all standing outside the Magazine in Albion Square.

This is the fountain in the Queens Gardens. We are looking at the goldfish in the pond.

We ate our lunch at the Queens Gardens.

The Legend of Matariki

Once upon a time there lived seven fishes. One day the mother fish said to the seven fish,
"Stay by the rocks or something might happen".
Tataraimaka's net hit the water and all the seven fish got caught. The seven fish cried. Their tears were making the sea salty. Then Tataraimaka threw the net up into the sky and the seven fish turned into seven stars and now they are called Matariki.
Retold by Eva

Once upon a time there lived seven little fishes. Their mum told them not to go out to play because there was a giant. But they forgot that the giant was out there. So they got caught in the magic net that he had made. He turned the fish into stars.
Retold by Eden

Once upon a time there were some fish. The magic fish said,
"Stay by the rocks."
Then they forgot about their promise. They were playing tag and then the net came down on them. They were crying and the sea got all the salt from their tears. The God of Light was sorry for the fish. So he took the magic flax net away up to the sky and the seven fish turned into stars.

Mad Hair Day

On Friday June 6 we had a mad hair day to raise funds for autism.

Matariki

Deane was our cook. He made pumpkin soup and a pork boil up. We also had a bread roll.

We are lining up to get our food. It is June 5,

the Maori New Year. The food was delicious!
