    te papa was a really fun school trip.
    My favourite part was when the year 6s went with Mr D into the cave and the sandpit. My favourite expedition was the greenstone, I liked looking at all the tikis and weapons.

    I also liked the Te Marae, I liked the big greenstone boulder and how the maori people used sand to rub the greenstone, and I defintly liked when we went to the water ball thing at the entrance, so fun!!!!! :) (:

  6. i think that we shouldn't go vegetirian but
    we shouldn't eat to much meat
    i think that we should just not have meat every
    single day but have it about 4 times a week
    but i also think that the cows and other animals
    should get a bit more room

  10. Te Papa trip

    On your school trip to Te Papa. First we had to wait but then we (year 5s) went to the cave and learned about stalicmites and stalictight and that when they join together they are called colems. We also went to the sandpit.

    When the others arrived we got into our house groups. We went around different places .First we (yellow) went inside the meare ,were they slepted and were they store food.We went to other places but my fav was the greenstone place.

    Yellow finished early and we could not eat(because our bags were in class crates)so we went to the caves and sandpit.

    Our trip was very fun and i loved the trip

    I really enjoyed the trip to Te Papa.
    My fav part was rubbing the big boulder of greenstone with the little rocks.
    I found it interesting that the maori people had to rub greenstone to make it green.

    I also liked going through the caves and looking into the maraes.

    the te papa was one of the best trips ive been too.
    My favorite exhibitoin was the passports .
    it told you alot about how the people emigrated into New Zealand.

    My other favorite exhibitoin was the green stone one i loved how we had to rub little stones againsed the huge green stone to make it look green.I loved the dark scary caves that we climbed through.

    I liked it and I think we should do more like this.

    I enjoyed the te papa trip alot
    My favourite exhibition was Kura Pounamu
    the Mere aand the large peice of greenstone was my favourite

    The Food Marae was and the cave was awsome
    there was a small tunnel in thee cave and it was pitch dark. The Food Marae had a lot of intresting tools. And there were alot of spares and knifes used for fighting

  16. I don't think you should give up eating meat
    because meat in a way is good for you

    And if you were to give up meat I don't think
    you should do it so suddenly.
