Kia Ora,
On 20.5.2021, Thursday, for our Tuarangawaewae my hub went to visit Margaret Mahy playground, fed the eels, visited the mats, paddled the waka and also visited Victoria Square.
At Margaret Mahy playground, we did a scavenger hunt where we looked for the migrating tuna, Mokihi, East Polynesian origins, waves of migration, navigation and early settlers sailing ship. I also got on the flying fox.
Then we fed the eels and paddled the waka at the Avon River.
At Victoria Square we found out what was written on the plaques, drew the poles and looked at the mats on the floor.
I had a great time and learned lots.

DeleteThank you for your comment. Early Maories caught and traded eels which they called tuna heke along the Avon River. I hope this answers your question.
