Waitangi Trip for SST

Yesterday our 9M class went to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds and the Education Centre. We were enrolled in a two day hands on learning program called Raranga Matihiko - Weaving Digital Futures being run by the Education Centre, Te Papa Museum and MoE.
Joining us were parents Barbara Collier, Stephine Milner, Polly Hall and Ashley Peacock. The students are learning about Kiwi Culture this Term so they all got to visit the museum, the upper Treaty grounds,  Flag pole and big house. Students are gathering ideas and thoughts about an exciting visual story they will be creating using vertual 3D computer programs and tools that will tell their own story from a cultural view point. We are due to go back again for a second full day to start creating their stories and I'm excitied to see what they are going to produce. Today I asked the students to create a Blog post about our trip yesterday, check out their Blogs and see what they had to say.
