Tūranga

Tūranga

Ki ora and welcome back to my blog. Today I did some research about the Tūranga Library. I hope you enjoy.

The Tūranga Library is a very sophisticated and aesthetic building. It is worth 92 million NZ dollars. After the earthquake this library is one of the most iconic buildings. The Tūranga Library is a 5 storey building. It is a fun place for the whole family. The building was first opened on 12 of October 2018 and has since become the cities living room. It has a large range of fun activities for children and adults of all ages. From video games to pop up books and much more. It has a cafe where adults can catch up and grab a cup of tea. There are also many spaces for quite studying so as the 5th and 4th floor. It is welcome to everyone.

Have you been to Tūranga? You really should visit! Comment down below on your past expriences.

Early Christchurch and Christchurch now

 Ki ora, 

Today I was learning about Ōtautahi-Christchurch. The name Ōtautahi comes from the Moari cheif tuatahi. He owned a large amount of Ōtautahi coming from the Margret Mahy Playground stretching out a bit.  Today the area the tautahi owned is replaced with the Margret Mahy Playground which is a fun family playground known throughout New Zealand. The Playground was built after the Christchurch earthquakes in 2010 and 2011. The first settlers in Christchurch were the European Moa Hunters. They set forests on fire so they could use the Moas for food. Between 1500 and 1700 the North Island Moari came to Christchurch. By then the Moa hunters were all killed or left Christchurch.
