Day 3 - Wednesday 11 September

Today we went for a little Tiki Tour around Kerikeri. We arrived there at 8:00 and had a little brief talk about what we know about New Zealand. After talking about New Zealand we had one of Chris's wife's cookies called Flap jacks, We also had out class milk. We had to split into two groups so we could see different places. Group 3 went into the a place called The Kemp house. Did you know that is it the oldest building in New Zealand.

We met a kind lady named Angela, She was our tour guide for the Kemp house for now. We saw olden day things such as cooking supplies and chalk boards. We saw Hiriata Rongo's diary, We saw her own Waiatas that she made in her own time. We also saw the kids rooms, It was so scary because their were dolls and holes in the walls and the beds were almost broken. It was also scary because it was up stairs and it felt like the floor was gonna break.

After the Kemp house we went to the Stone Store. In the Stone Store their were cool things the people made in the olden days. We went upstairs and we did a little ice breaker. We had to get a paper with questions about what we know about the treaty. Our next stop was Rewa's Village. In Rewa's Village we saw houses made out of leaves, we also saw Canoes made out of wood. After seeing all those amazing things we came back to the bus and had our morning tea.

After morning tea we had a long treasure hunt made by Magnus and Chris. It was very long and i was so tired. We had our treasure hunt for like two hours and came back to the bus so we could go back to the campsite. When we came back we all went into our groups and went for a 20 minute swim in the holiday park pool. We all went for a shower and had dinner. After dinner we did our reflections and Maikey brought us ice blocks because we were apparently good.

Maikey taught us a Waita and a Haka, we learnt the actions and the words probably this time. Everybody was so bored so we did a little Talent quest. We did it in our groups, We either did a dance or a song. Click the video to see groups 3's three talented students.
