Slimy and Legless...

As Term 3 draws to a close, our Education Team is gearing up for a busy Term 4 filled with a variety of exciting and interactive programmes at Puke Ariki. 

Next term we're offering a new programme: Slimy and Legless. Sounds intriguing, we know! Focusing on the Taranaki giant snail (Powelliphanta "Egmont") and its habitat, this lesson is an excellent opportunity for students to learn more about their local Taranaki environment. Slimy and Legless also compliments the Taranaki: Our Volcano lesson which students may have previously experienced at Puke Ariki.

Our very popular programme focusing on the history of Taranaki rugby Rucks, Boots and Bulls kicked off at the start of September. Focusing on the history of Taranaki rugby and based in the fantastic new exhibition It's Not Just a Game, we've had several excited classes take part in the programme. The feedback so far has been brilliant: one teacher said "this has been the best visit - ever".

Educator Hoani teaches a class from Devon Intermediate. The amber and black looks great!

We really encourage you to bring your students to enjoy this fun programme, filled with interactive and engaging activities for students of all ages. Rucks, Boots and Bulls is available until Week 7 of Term 4 (week beginning 7 November): book online or contact us for more information.
