Today, the weather was wonderful and so were the Wanaka Junior school students! At the museum to participate in the GOLD prgoramme they completed the tasks with great energy and enthusiasm!

Fristly there was the street walk comparing Buckingham Street in the past to Buckingham Street today, then the 'gold treasure hunt' in the museum and lastly they got their hands (and in some cases feet!!) cold in the Arrow River as they undertook several 'chores' a miner would do during their day.

We hope you had a good time Wanaka Primary and look forward to hearing some of your comments on this blog!
