Museum Visit



Yesterday we went to the museum in town and it was very exciting. First we were greeted by a kind Maori lady that played a musical instrument made out of a shell . Room 10 listened to some Maori Legends. Then we acted out some legends and we acted them to the class.
One of the legends was about a giant octopus shaking some canoes. They killed the octopus by hitting the octopus right in between its eyes.
Another legend was about Maui slowing down the sun. He got his brothers to help him and they held onto the sun until it was exhausted and could only limp across the sky.
The visit was very interesting and we all learnt a lot about the Maori Legends.
