The Rat and the Octopus!

Aug 2, 2019 | Kiwi – Year 1 Blog

Our recent trip to the Auckland Museum saw us explore Myths and Legends.  We listened to a new story about the Rat and the Octopus and we learned why the Pacific Island fishermen used shell and rope lures to catch an octopus.

We then had free time to explore the Museum.  We went into the Wharenui, we saw a large waka and some of us even got to put our hands in the mouth of a shark!

It was a fantastic day!

Thank you so much to the parent helpers.  We couldn’t go on these trips without your support!
