Tangata Whenuatanga


















Wow! What a day TKT had today. We were focusing on our new inquiry topic (Tangata Whenuatanga) which is all about our heritage.
We visited Te Manawa, The Square and the Palmerston North Library. We learnt about our ancestors and Palmerston North history.
We were engaged in a huge range of activities and certainly learnt a lot about our heritage.

  15. I also loved going on that small field trip! I never knew lots of things. Everything was fun-filled, the history of the library, the orienteering at The Square, and my favourite part was going to Te Manawa, especially in the old school. :)

  16. That field trip was great, we had lots of fun, thanks teachers. It was exciting for all of us learning all about the Manawatu area in the early 1900's to early 2000's and how much it has changed, and it has changed a lot. I would love to have been a child in the early 1900's because you would have to be creative around entertaining yourself.
