Otago Settlers' Museum

We had a great day today at the Otago Settlers' Museum! Sara taught us lots about the Kai Tahu people, then we dressed up and transformed ourselves into Scottish settlers in 1848. We also found out about discrimination against the Chinese in the late 1800's/early 1900's. Our day finished with a trip to the Chinese Gardens and making Chinese kites.

It was also really interesting mapping where we were all born and where our ancestors came from - you can see our giant World map in Room 10. Thank you to the parents who came along and helped with our visit. Below are some photos of our day:
