Should the trip enjoyable or educational or both?

 Reasons why it should be just enjoyable:

This is our time to take some stress off school and some students don't have enough to go on family trips on their own time. Therefore, having an enjoyable will not just boost their component, it will relieve their life's stresses. Another good reason why it should just be enjoyable is that some educational trips make some students not wanting to learn because most of them find it boring. Furthermore, we hardworking students deserve to have an enjoyable trip because it is a time where students can hang out with all of their classmates at the same time. 

The place that I recommend going is to the Christchurch Gondola place or the Alpine Ice skating venue.

Text purpose: To inform people that a Maori astronomer claims that there are 9 stars in Matariki instead of 7 stars.

Summary:

TVNZ informs there is a Maori astronomer that claims there are 9 stars instead of 7 stars in Matariki. A man named Dr Rangi Matamua that there is Waiti and Pohutukawa. He then talks about having an extra month, 13 months, in every 3 years or so. This because of the constellations and the time telling by using the stars.
