Springston School Museum Trip

On 1 July, Room 6 and 7 went to the museum. When we first got there we were told to sit down and listened to our instructions. The museum guide took us into a classroom full of Maori tools. He showed us how they worked. We got to try using an axe and a drill. I learned that Maori people used shells to strip flax fibre. After that we went up to these life-sized models of Maori people. One was hunting a moa (a big bird). There were a lot of other interesting things too. At the end of the day I had learnt heaps. It was a great day.
