Day trip to the Museum

We went to the museum today and looked around all the galleries. The first gallery was about the Maori Statue of Pukaki ;put on the 20c coin ; I liked that it was representing something;had meaning to it; I learnt that it was created in 1836.

gallery 2 was about the Arawa people and how they found they re way to NZ. I liked the canoe . I learnt that the cutting tool belonged to Tamatekapua.
gallery 3 Had lots of interesting things that belonged to Maori ancestors , they re were fish hooks and a flute witch was interesting.
gallery 4 I cant remember this gallery.

gallery 5 I learnt that Maori's had never seen a bible or muskets before the Europeans came.
gallery 6 Was all about the pink and white terraces; I learnt that the names for pink terraces in Maori is Otukapuarangi and the white terrace is named Te Tarata.
gallery 7 Was about the war and how the Maori soldiers fought in it. We watched the movie ; with some soldiers that had survived the war telling there stories , there personal experience . But i fell asleep half way through.
gallery 8  We didn't end up looking at gallery 8.

Cry of the Taniwha chapter 22

1. Describe what happened in this chapter.
2. Reflect on your literacy work this week. PMI - the good, the bad and the interesting...


1. Skulla and his gang persisted on getting the diamonds and made Matt start searching,he was convinced he hadnt found anything but he found a diamond in the end and Skulla couldnt take his eyes off of it.But bad news struck and Whakarewarewa exploded, covering Skulla in a clump of boiling mud. Jackson was hurt badly and looked frale,dead.




2. I think that I have done allright this week, i just need to remain focused so I can get my work done. Like I said i have to keep focus because i get distracted easily. I enjoy reading the book because it shows you what bullying and gangs are like and how theyre bad for you. ♥

Chapter 20.

1.What did Matt and Eve find out?
That theyre were jewels in the ponga.


2.Do you think they should go with Ana? Why/Why not?
No because she lead the boys into the gangs hands meaning she is some part of the gang or has some sort of association with it.

Chapter 21

3.What do you think is going happened?
 I think they will be able to make it out with out skulla on hisb ack because I think theyre will be some sort of eruption,since the mud was bubbling heaps so they will keep the jewels and keep investigating.

1.Why did they go to the museum?

Matt and Eve wanted to return the sovereigns so they could be put onto display.Eve had some papers that had to be dropped off.

2.What do you think might be special about the ponga?

Edward had given the metal box with the ponga inside it to Mary as a gift,so it obviously has some speciality to it otherwise Edward wouldn't have given it to her.

W.A.L.T- edit and proof read our writing.

1.What does Eve do in this chapter?
She see's Zirk checking on her Matt and Jackson, he had been there most of the week. She found a bit of glass that had been half buried in dirt she picked it up and pretended it was the most precious diamond in the world and the Zirk cam a bit closer his binoculars right on them.She hid it again and then waited for him to come and look for it, only to find a bit of broken glass.



2.What is going to happen next?
I think that the geologists will block off the area that they had been in the day before,because something dangerous is going to happen,maybe the eruption or maybe something faulty that the geologists dont know what it is.The case with Skulla and his gang, I think that they will get let off apart from doing 'community service' and now Matt shuold be worried.
