Understanding the past to build the future
Marsden Primary students in Years 1, 2 and 3 visited the Settlers Museum in Petone as part of their unit of inquiry, 'Past, Present, Future Inventions'.
Comparing a Māori drinking bottle with a modern one
Our ākonga explored inventions from early Māori and early European Settlers' and how these were used in the past. Asking has technology changed these inventions over time?
Creating a backpack from ''recycled' materials
Our students had a fabulous time being 'inventors' and also learning harakeke (flax weaving) techniques.
Thank you to the wonderful staff at the Settlers Museum for making our visit so enjoyable and informative.
