museum blog post

yesterday we went to the museum. It was okay. first we walked around the museum and looked at the exhibits. they were okay I guess. Then we had a lesson about Maori innovation. Then we got to do weird stuff with Maori tools. We got to try and hollow out a log, set fire to the museum, make cave drawings, use a weird drill made of wood and string, a weird thing with a hammer, and sharpen rocks. Also we had lunch in the botanic gardens and well everyone else was trying to catch a bird, I was just reading my book. and then we left.
