On Friday 21st May we braved the inclement weather and took the Morning Session children, by bus, to Auckland War Memorial Museum.
We started our visit with morning tea in the Museum's classroom area (due to the steady rain outside) and then had an hour long session in Weird and Wonderful, the interactive children's area. this was great fun, with lots to see and explore. We even got to see, in a perspex cube, just how much vegetation a possum consumes in 24 hours.
At the end of our Weird and Wonderful booking it was time to explore the rest of the Museum. Many of the children really enjoyed the experience of how a volcano erupts in the Volcanic area and others loved the Dinosaur bones in the 'Origin's Gallery'. Another highlight for many of the children were the crayfish and crabs in their rock pool set under the floor in the 'Ocean's Gallery'.
We finished our visit with lunch back in the classroom area before returning to Kindergarten and home for a well deserved rest.
