Fundraising Event - The students continue with fund-raising activities, including putting together a large school event that will feature the Bionic Bannock Boys and establishing online contact with their peers in Australia and New Zealand. Finally, we go with the class in the air to New Zealand, many of which have never been on a plane before.
The students begin learning about the Maori culture firsthand. They begin with making Maori cultural artifacts and take part in traditional Maori activities.
The group continues their trek across the New Zealand countryside with stops at more Maori villages meeting the Maori people and learning about the history of Maori language including the efforts by the New Zealand government to outlaw it.
The Long Journey Home - The students continue their learning and fun filled adventure then wrapping up with sharing their experiences in New Zealand.
