Treaty Grounds

Last week on Tuesday the whole of Paihia School visited the Treaty Grounds at different times. The junior went in the morning to the Treaty Grounds and the seniors left at midday. When we arrived at the Treaty Grounds we walked up a big hill and rested by a white tent near the Busby house. Then we all split into groups and did some activities. The first activity we did was when we had to get Nikau leaves and weave them to make a kite to fly. Then we moved on to the other activity when we had to make a big circle and people were blind folded. When that happened they had to shake the paua with pearls in them and they had to try and tag each other. Then the last game we played was called Maui (left) and Matou (Right.) There were two ropes next to each other and when the lady called the directions we had to either jump to the right or jump to the left but when the lady shouted Ki Waenganui (middle) we had to jump in the middle of both of the ropes. Then the last thing we did was planting and Noah and I planted a tree in the ground. I had fun doing things at the Treaty Grounds.
