trip to waitangi
On wednesday we traveled to waitangi museum
It was a one hour drive when we got there we had
Some morning tea.
Then we went into the museum and put our bags in a cage then we went and had a look inside and we saw some men from the story that we had been reading. It was Tuia 250 the ship could Endeavour. I was in the car with Zoe's dad, so me Daetyn and Georgie and zoe.
we found out that people have been living in new zealand and new zealand has been a country for five million years then we watched a movie and they had really comedy sets.
And the weather was really hot it was good and we saw
The the ngatokimatawhaorua waka. It was huge, it was made out of a code tree and there was a giant tree stump. And on the way to the car we saw a eel bite a baby's hand.
On the car ride back i felt a bit car sik zoe’s dad speed up
Over the bridge it was cool.
