Friday - July school hols

 This morning Daniel decided to make a ramp complete with paper pit like a sponge pit only made with paper


Then this afternoon after a Sunday school meeting we went to Otatara Pa.  When we were at the Ahuriri Estuary the other day there was a signpost about how the Maori use to gather kai moana (sea food) from it.  Then Daniel saw some places in the bushes where he thought they may have lived.  I told him that we could go and see where the Maori really did use to live.

as we were leaving I told Daniel about how the maori used flax to make things like string
