We really enjoyed reading through your DLO for Day #6. I particularly liked the poem that you created as it really captured your feelings of confusion and uncertainty. I, too, would have felt similarly. I can't quite imagine what the first settlers must have experienced when they arrived on the shores of New Zealand for the very first time. They had to figure out to not only create a life but, also, to simply survive.
I am so grateful that our settlers were able to overcome the challenges that they faced and build communities that still stand today.
I hope that you enjoyed learning a bit more about our history and about the amazing events (Matariki included) that we have here in New Zealand. Like you, I would have definitely gone to see the Kaumatua Kapa Haka and the science panel discussion if I had been in Wellington this year.
I hope that we can both get to Te Papa to attend these special events in the future. Fingers crossed!
Kia ora Tiana,
