Margaret Mahy 

My school went to Margaret Mahy playground. It was very cold but it didn't stop Tumu Hub. The first activity was Margaret Mahy with Mrs Carney. we learnt about Margaret Mahy and  Ancient history.  

The second activity was learning about mats and tuna (eels) with Mrs Bryce. She taught us a lot then we got to play on the playground. Then it was my turn to meet the Eels. I saw big slippery eels. 

The third activity was the Waka. We had to listen to commands. It was very very Fun! Under the Boat I saw slippery Eels When we got out of the boat it still felt like we  were still in it.

The fourth activity was Victoria Square with Mrs Brown.  There was a pou. And a James Cook statue. Mrs Brown set us a task we had to draw a pou.

Good things have to come to an end. We had to leave Margaret Mahy I was a bit sad but I'm glad to get back to school and rest at home.

Did you know that eels eat cat food?
