After that we came in and listened to a guy named Anthony. He told us about how Maori lived and how they made their tools. After that we did some activities. The first activities that my group did was you had a stick and a piece of wood, you needed to rub the stick onto the piece of curved wood as fast as you could and if you rubbed it really hard eventually the wood will start to get hotter and hotter until the wood gets darker.
The second activity that we did was there were drawings of animals that the Maori people drew and you needed to draw one of the drawings. The third activity was you had a stone and you had a big rock and you needed to rub the small stone on the rock really hard. Then it will become soft enough and it will be cool weapon. The second to last activity was you had a Pounam (green stone) on a stick and you had a log that was turning into a waka (Kano) and you needed to hit the log and it will turn into a waka. The last activity was you had a stick drill and a piece of wood and there was a string attached to the stick drill and you would spin the string around the drill stick and pull it until it makes a dent in the piece of wood.
Do you like going to the museum??
Thanks for sharing this post Lara. This was a wonderful trip and I'm glad that the weather was nice for the gardens. You look really happy in the photo. I'm glad you didn't fall out of the tree. Have you climbed many other trees?
