Wonderful Waitangi Writing

Last Tuesday I got to school early because our class was going to Waitangi to learn new things using 
technology. When we arrived Whaea Kerry and whaea Monika greeted the class, inside we saw pictures of maori people in the hall. I rushed to the colourful bean bags and put my brain on! I was so excited I was going to pass out. 

Secondly we talked about the Eels life cycle. Then Whaea Kerry's  friend Caitlin showed us some old rocks and the pounamu almost cut my finger and one was used to cut down a tree. After that we did an unplugged activity, it was called mixed up cards ,I loved it.

I made an Eel in paint 3D I tried to put glasses on it and it went way to big!Then we went on scratch I made my avatar say look kiarn theirs an Eel. I made kiarn say ahhhhh!

Lastly we went around the house at the and there was a bridge and there were eels!I saw a big long fin eel by the cafe next to the bridge and I called him Mr wonky eye. I really loved it and I wish we could go again.
