It was exciting watching the waves crash onto the rocks under the walkway.

Watching how Mount Taranaki was created.

Trip to Puke Ariki, the Library, and the Walkway

Rooms 1, 3 and 4 went by bus (a first time for many!)on our biggest trip ever to New Pymouth to learn about natural and man-made features of Taranki. We had a fun session in the Library and tehn went to Puke Ariki. We saw the ginormous shark hanging from the roof wearing an All Blacks scarf. Just how did they get that scarf up there? We saw a video on how Mount Taranaki was created and sorted Maori resources into the natural resources they were made from. Afterwards, we walked along the walkway and had lunch at the park. We saw the great big wind wand and a massive container ship being pulled by a tugboat at the port. It was exciting when we stood on the walkway and watched the waves crashing below our feet. The trip was so much fun that we didn't want to go back to school! Have a look at our photos and see what we did.
