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.

Fabulous feedback

We've had some wonderful feedback lately from students, parents and teachers who have visited Puke Ariki for an education lesson. It's great to hear about what you enjoyed during your visit to Puke Ariki.

This week we received two lovely letters from the students of Rooms 1 and 3 at Merrilands School, who visited us for a lesson on Volcanoes.  Thomas from Room 3 sent us a picture of Mount Taranaki and said "this is our favourite volcano. We hope that it doesn't wake up!". So do we, Thomas!
