Today, the Year 6 (and a couple of Year 5) students visited the museum as part of their end of year camp. In the morning, they survived Miss Grey, were locked up in an old Gaol and viewed the GOLD 150 exhibition. The shower of rain after lunch meant a slight change of plan and instead of an outside activity they got 'hands on' with some artefacts. These were from different periods of time in NZ 's history....can you remember some of the things that came first? what came last?

A brief gap in the weather meant they were still able to pan for gold in the Arrow River (just like the miners did!). Some were lucky and found a small flake of gold! We hope you enjoyed your visit to us at the museum and look forward to hearing about it on this blog!!!
