Te Papa Visit

On Tuesday our class room 13 went to the museum. We went to talk about our taonga. Then someone from our group had 30 seconds to grab 5 things to dress up in to take photos in.  We were either in a group with Ati, Kimberley, Khali or Herbee. Then we all spread out across the museum and took photos of us in our dress up costume with our taonga doing a  cool pose. (Sam B)


Why visit Te Papa when Te Papa can visit us? 
The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa is coming to Gisborne! The Education and Discovery Centre teams will be based at Tairawhiti Museum for a week of exciting art workshops and learning programmes. Schools in the Gisborne area are taking part in free hands-on workshops, exploring kākahu (cloaks), taonga (treasures) and their connection to the area of Gisborne. Two large artworks, in the form of cloaks, will be created by the students, using digital photography and mixed media. The cloaks will be on display at Tairawhiti Museum and then at Te Papa in Wellington for thousands of visitors to see. (from Te Papa Blog)http://blog.tepapa.govt.nz
