KAURI TRIP TO TEPAPA
Recently, the Kauri team ventured into Te Papa to learn all about the early Pacific Voyagers. They had a very interesting trip and learned of the many ways the early navigators made their way around the Pacific Ocean. The presenter at Te Papa shared how the people of the Pacific used natural elements to make their way from island to island; for example using the sun, stars and the moon. The children of the Kauri team also looked at the different waka the early voyagers sailed in.
It was a very worthwhile learning experience, well supported by the Kauri team families.
Since the trip, the classes have been doing follow up work in the classroom, which they will share in a future newsletter!
