On Friday the 3rd of August as part of our Inquiry, Room 6 went to the Otago Settlers Museum. We learned a lot about our culture and ancestors.
Instead of writing reports on them in our topic books, this time Room 6 will be writing mini reports in the comment section of the museum post.
Be sure to have a look!

I really enjoyed our trip on the bus to the Settlers Museum.
I liked the green stone, because it was green and sparkley. I loved the rock art too it was fum to make.
The movie was interesting and I liked looking at the boats and the canoes, I would really love to ride in one.

We went in a mutton bird hut and we watched a video about muttion birds. We learn about european people that came here and how they lived. Then we did some maori carving with oamaru stone. Our class did an activity that was has to find thing the were weapons for the europeans. We learn that people killed whales for oil.
We watched a power point video about the european. It was very cool and I enjoyed doing the carving.
Tayler said on our trip we first looked at a dvd on things that we might find in the museum. After that we were given a sheet to collect information as we walked through the museum. We looked at some weapons that where made from green stone. We also saw a maori house that was made from silver ferns and wood to hold it up. We then got to share our information from our findings with each other. It was a very cool day out and I really enjoyed it. Thanks Mrs C.B
Abbey said our adventure to the museum started with a bus trip to get us there. When we arrived we first went into a large foom and got to watch a dvd on what we would see around the museum. We then went exploring round the museum and saw this big flax house that the Maori's lived in a long time ago. We also saw the spine of a whale which looked like a big cake. We also saw a big weapon made out of green stone. We then got to share our information with each other. It was a fun day.

I enjoyed the museum. We learnt some more things about Maori People. The mutton bird hut was very smelly. The greenstone felt nice and silky on your hands.
The carving was hard to do, but I really enjoyed doing it.
The big black pot was used for cooking whales and making it into oil.
room 6 went on a bus from
FairField then green iland
Dunedin to the early
settlers Museum.
in the class room she had a power point computer and

Caitlyn Said... I really liked our trip on the bus to settlers museum. I like making the omauru stone it is like chalk. We went in the muttion bird hut and we had lunch there. We played games and watched a slide show. Then we went back to school to have an assembly. I had lots of fun. :)

First of all we watched a slide show on parts of the museum.We looked at the mutton bird house that was made of fine grass and fern. We also made stone carvings from Oamaru Stone. That was fun.
the museum photos were about how the the maori lived. from Billie
The visit to the Settler's Museum was really good. My Mum and some other Mums came with us. We heard about all the different maoris joining to form one large tribe and about how they lived. I enjoyed seeing the rock art pictures and had fun doing the stone carving

I learnt alot and it was fun.
It was fun when we did the stone carving and we went inside the muttonbird house.
On our trip to the early settlers museum I learnt a lot about Maori culture. The mutton bird huts were small. They would be cold to live in in winter in Dunedin. We did carvings on oamaru stone. We used special tools to carve the outlines of our picture.
Ava said I loved going to the Early Settlers Museum. I felt sad when I found out in the early times the settlers killed whales for their oil. We saw some of the tools that they used. They were made of wood, rocks and Bone.
I liked the Oamaru stone carvings. My carving was 2 koru's. I liked carving the Oamaru stone.
First we watched a power point about how the Europeans came to Otago. Then we had a talk about where some Maori meeting houses were in Otago. We had a look at a mutton bird hut where the Maori people used to cook mutton birds.We did a search with a worksheet, looking for Maori weapons in the museum. I saw a gun, a spear and a weapon made out of rock. After that we planned our carvings, and after lunch we did our carvings out of Oamaru stone. The bit I liked the best was doing the carving.

We learnt about the first people in Otago how they lived, what they ate and how they survived. We learnt about the carvings and we made our own out of Oamaru stone. I really had fun. From Hayden

I thought the trip was wonderful, we enjoyed making stone carvings out of Oamaru stone.
"We liked doing the treasure hunt activity in the museum where we had to look at one of the exhibits and write down what it was made of, what was it, and what it was used for" said Jordan.

We went in a mutton bird hut and the noise inside made me want to get out. My favourite bit was the rock art, I want to get another piece of stone to make another one!!
