Wellington Museum Trip

This week our Taonga Inquiry led us to a trip to the Wellington Museum (formerly the Museum of City to Sea).  The day started with a ride on an old school bus (a treasure in itself).  A lot of the teachers and parents could remember catching a bus like this when they were little...



Once at the Wellington Museum we explored all the various levels.  We learned that most taonga at the museum was in a special cabinet called a case.  In groups we found animals on each floor, listened to Wellington stories and used our senses - to see, hear and touch the exhibits.  We all had many questions as to why these things in the Wellington Museum were treasures.



In the coming weeks, we too will be sharing our own taonga with the class.
