SUMMARY:Kia kaha ki te kōrero Māori / Give speaking Māori a go!
DESCRIPTION:Practice speaking in te reo Māori as you explore the sanctuary with our te reo prompts.  \nAs you explore the sanctuary\, keep an eye out for wildlife and botanical signage and the te reo Māori prompt cards next to them.\nThe prompt cards contain some simple sentences in te reo Māori to practice while pointing out widlife and plants\, or you could learn and practice saying some species names in te reo Māori. \nLearning something new can be challenging and sometimes even a little awkward. In the vast peacefulness of the ngahere/forest\, only the trees are listening – so kia kaha ki te kōrero Māori / give speaking Māori a go! \nAn extra resource will be available from the Visitors Centre with tips on pronunciation and some other words and sentences to try.

SUMMARY:'The Barbie Collector' Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Wellington Museum becomes like a ‘Barbie Dreamhouse’ with temporary exhibition The Barbie Collector featuring close to 500 Barbies and Kens owned by one of New Zealand’s biggest Barbie collectors\, Patsy Carlyle. \nThe Barbie Collector shines a short – but bright! – spotlight on the social history of Barbie\, noting how this iconic doll has changed across time. Everyone knows Barbie\, but now you can meet Patsy too. \nPatsy is a ‘proud westie’ who lives in a house in Helensville nicknamed ‘the pink palace’\, with over 1600 boxed Barbie dolls and 400+ freestanding dolls. She began collecting Barbie in the nineties and says\, “It started as a bit of a joke to be honest\, then it got a little out of hand.” She also notes\, “the house was pink when we bought it.” \nThe Barbie Collector is also a portrait of Patsy Carlyle. “People that you least expect collect\,” says Carlyle\, who worked as an ambulance officer for Hato Hone St John Ambulance for forty years before retiring. After seven years of volunteering\, in 1985 she became one of only six women then employed in Auckland as an ambulance officer. Patsy says\, “They say people who collect things live longer.” \nFor Patsy\, her collection has offered a fun alternative to the stress and seriousness of her job at Hato Hone St John Ambulance. “Half the fun is in finding the dolls.” She also loves the joy her collection brings to others. “I have so many stories to share!” \nStep into the world of Barbie and Patsy’s impressive collection at Wellington Museum. The exhibition also features a digital photo series of the dolls by award-winning artist Yvonne Todd. Design your own Barbie at the craft station and make your Barbie dreams come true by taking photos in the life-size Barbie and Ken boxes. \nPatsy collects Barbies\, \nWe collect Wellington. \nWhat do you collect? \nThe Barbie Collector – for a limited time only. \nFree entry | Wellington Museum | 22 July – 8 October
