Napier Past and Future Trip

The Year 8s have been learning about Napier's past and future. 


We recently went on a trip to Napier and visited the old Napier Cemetery, walked down the hill, past the prison and along Marine Parade. We looked at the monuments and icons that are part of Napier's history.

At the Napier Cemetery we recorded data and calculated the average age of people who had passed away as part of our Statistics  learning. We also found the graves of some of Napier's founding fathers which we found really interesting.


At the Marine Parade we looked at  monuments and drew scale drawings of Marine Parade in the future. We looked at the Art Deco style buildings and the memorials as part of our historical learning as well.


We all had a great day and learnt heaps about Napier's history and are now working on changing the future attractions that may adorn'
                                                       our Marine Parade.
