On a cool Dunedin day we bused to town to extend our knowledge about early Otago History as part of our inquiry. We visited the Otago Settlers Museum and completed an orienteering course around the streets of Dunedin.
During the orienteering we were divided into small groups and given a map to locate various historical buildings around Dunedin and find answers to our questions.
At the museum Sara talked to us about the early settlers and we dressed up in olden day clothes and acted out parts of the long journey they experience on the migrant ships. We also visited the Chinese Gardens which celebrates the importance of Chinese migrants in Otago's history.
We had a great day and learnt heaps about early Dunedin and our settlers. Thanks to our wonderful parent helpers.
