It was so fun getting to see Minoh house, and I loved seeing all the nature jubilee park had. One of the facts I was interested in was when one of the houses had burnt down in the night and I still wonder how it could of happened?. Seeing all the nature and getting to see Minoh house where my favorite things. Minoh house had quite a lot of interesting things to look at inside and I think everyone liked the design as well, I think Minoh house is great.Sara.
I never ever new the Minoh house even existed. It was amazing to see the big building and go inside it.On my calendar art I made the colour of the house brown but now i know it is green and a creamy yellow.my favourite part was seeing where all the old houses used to be and getting to see what was left of the brick wall of that house. Did anyone see that big pine cone tree on the right of the brick wall, it was HUGE.I had a great time, I'm glad it was not raining that today then we would on had to cancel the trip :( . I had a lot of fun and what even made it better was my mum was there so i got to share what i had learnt with her.I had the best time EVER and I hope we could do it again.Caitlin H
I really enjoyed walking around Normandale seeing all the places in Normandale. My favourite thing on the trip was going inside the awesome Minoh house for the second time. I also enjoyed talking to Rosemary McLennan and asking her some questions about her book and about early Normandale. I also liked going through the little tracks and paths . I had a great time going adventuring and hope to go again! Anton
I LOVED walking around normandale, seeking through history. I hoped everyone else enjoyed it too. My favourite part of the walk was when I came up to Minoh house and Rosemary Mclennan introduced us to the place. I loved what the interior of the house looks like. I edored the expeiance and I want to go there whenever I can! Patrick
I really enjoyed going to the Hutt Minoh Friendship house. It was a long way to get to the house, but it was worth it! The thing that really stood out was probably the Japanese cultural items,that were inside the house, such as the origami, and the wall hangings. When we were walking through the track from Harbour View to Minoh House, there were signs every so often that told us about the houses that were there where we were standing and the houses histories. What was also very Interesting was when we were walking along the track, we saw a wall all covered up with growth that had originaly been part of the edge of the garden well thats what i thought it was. The trip would have been awesome as it was but what made it even more awesome was that Rosemary Mclennen came with us and gave us some more information that we didn't know! Altogether it was a blast!

going to to Minoh friendship house was a very good experience for me, especially because I loved the book that Rosemary maclennen wrote,'Glimpses into early Normandale'.Speaking of Rosemary maclennen, she came along with us on the trip we went on.Special thanx to rosemary maclennen! josh k :)
I really liked going to the Hutt Minoh Friendship House. It was really nice looking at all the Japanese dolls and the shiny materials hanging on the walls. But my favourite part of this trip must have been getting to meet Rosemary Mclennen.She wrote a book called Glimpses into early Normandale. That's the book that inspired us to go on this trip. Thanks to Rosemary Mclennen We went on a awesome trip. It was great to have company from Rosemary Mclennen. Big thank you to Rosemary Mclennen! Megan :)
I loved the walk to the Minoh Friendship House. I had never been there before so it was more interesting for me. My favourite part about the trip was hearing about the history about the old houses that once stood there. I was also enjoying looking at the objects that were in the house like the japanese doll, the fans, the cats, and much more. Also a big huge thanks to you Rosemary Mclennan thanks a lot for showing us inside the house also again the history and ya so thanks again. Darcy;)
Going to the Hutt Minoh House was a great trip. Rosemary Mclennan was really clever to have known all that research she shared with us! She wrote the book called 'Glimpses into Early Normandale'. She came along with us on our trip to Jubilee park and let us inside Minoh House. I really liked the Japanese dolls and the decorations around the house and on the walls, but my favourite thing I saw was the table with broken glass from the cutlery and the plates that the owners of the house had buried stuck together so it made a lovely pattern. The big windows really stood out. I wish I had windows like that! When we were walking on a track we saw signs about the old houses. Rosemary read them out and explained it. I'm really glad that it rain because otherwise we wouldn't have been able to go! All in all it was a blast. Thanks to all the teachers and the parents that participated Amy
My favourite part was when we saw were the old house were and the one that was were the motorway is got demolished. My other part I really liked was when we got to go inside the Minoh House. I liked the dolls fans cats and one very interesting here it is a House got burnt down at night really sad :( but they have still got Minoh House or nobray in the olden day. It was called that and a special thanks to Rosemary McLennan for tacking us there I think must people were tired but I hope every one had a great time because I did I want to go on another one like that it was really great. Thanks again Rosemary McLennan it was a full day but it was worth it. Best day ever I loved it and thank you Mrs piters for contacted Rosemary McLennan

I really liked the trip because it was fun and because I went to place's I had never been. It was great to see the old houses around Normandale. The best part was seeing the brick wall's of the houses that had been smashed. Thank you Rosemary, for Taking us on that great trip.
I had really enjoyed going to the Hutt Minoh Friendship House. It was call to go inside and see what we have learnt about in the past. My favourite part was walking through jubilee park and seeing the Hutt Minoh Friendship House. It was also cool to see Rosemary Mclennan. From Dylan :)
Yesterday was one of the best school trips i have ever had though my 6 years of primary at normandale school, well so far. My favourite part of the trip through normandale history to the minoh house, would probably be meeting rosemary mclennan in person, and also getting to see all the japanse cultral dolls and quilts inside the minoh house . After the trip i was really poked and had sore ancles, but other than that i had a blast. FROM STEPHANIE!
I loved going to Minoh House.Those little lucky cats were so cute:).The trail to Minoh House was cool,to see were those wise old houses had once stood.It was interesting to hear what story's Rosemary had up her sleeve.I hope we can go to Minoh House again.
Walking to Minoh house was a great experience because we stopped and listened to what Rosemary had to say about the houses that once stood there. There was a stone wall that was once a garden wall which I thought was fascinating considering it is probaly about 100 years old. Getting to go inside Minoh House was probaly everyones favourite part about the trip. It was mine too. Its had major renovations which cost a lot of money, $400,000. They also had a retaining wall put along the driveway because of a massive landslip. I liked the fabric on some of the walls, the China dolls and the broken China mosaic. I also liked the history of the house and also where the China dolls were kept, which was formally a kitchen! Thank you Rosemary for sharing your information and time with us. Alex U-J

The trip around Normandale was an excellent idea for every one. Beautiful scenery and interesting facts were the great parts of the trip! I'm sure everyone enjoyed it as much as I did!!!!
Our trip to Minoh House was very interesting. I never realised that there had been so many homesteads in the bush area around Minoh House. The walk was ok but the rest was fun to see. I learnt a lot about the area that I live in. I saw so many cool things inside the house. I enjoyed it and probably everyone else did to. Tyler :-)
I really enjoyed the walk through Normandale trip because I saw a lot of thing I had never seen before one of my favrite bits was going inside Minoh house and in Minoh house there was like a little tea room and then I asked the parents if they would like me to make them a cup of tea and they thought that would of been lovele and thank you Rosemary, for showing us a lot of the history of normandale Joshua N
