We went for a school trip to Ngawha (old Ohaeawai) at the beginning of the term. We have been learning about the Battle of Ohaeawai, between the British and Maori that happened at Ngawha in 1845. Now there is a church on the site called St Michaels Church. The pa and the pekerangi (fence) used in the battle was the first use of trench warfare. Here are some things we created to show our learning.
