Activity 2: After visiting Shag Point, you hop back in the van and drive all the way up the east coast of the south island until you reach the town of Picton. You get out of the van and onto the Interislander ferry. It travels back across the Cook Strait to Wellington. Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand and every winter the city hosts a huge Matariki festival to celebrate the Maori New Year. This year part of the festival is being held at Te Papa, a big museum in Wellington.
Read about the Matariki festival at Te Papa. There are so many different things to see and do at the festival this year. On your blog, tell us about three of the events. You can choose any three events that you wish.
1. Explore Matariki
2. Matariki festival highlights
3. Go and travel anywhere
Kia ora Helena,
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to see you yesterday at St Pius when I came to hand out the certificates and prizes for the Winter Learning Journey programme. Congratulations on coming 2nd in the programme this year! You did so well!!
I hope that you will continue to post great blogs over the coming weeks and that you get the chance to attend a Matariki festival next June/July. I am planning to take Aronui to Wellington to go to Te Papa, if we can!
I'll look forward to seeing you in Term 4 when I come into St Pius to talk about the Summer Learning Journey programme.
Bye for now,
Rachel :)
