activity 1
3 facts I know about Maui:
He caught the north island, Mauis brothers don't want him to fish, Maui used his blood as bait.
activity 2
write a small letter to a friend about moving to New Zealand on a waka:
To John
This is so exciting! I am SUPER TIRED as well. I cant wait to sleep on land again, I can see some mountains in the distance now! only a couple of hours left till we land.

Bonus activity
I would not like to race in waka ama because of how fast you need to paddle for 500m, it would be exhausting.
Hi Jake!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Ellee and I am a part of the Summer Learning Journey crew blogging with you this summer!
I hope that you have had a good Christmas and New Years break? Have you been up to anything special?
It's great to see you making a start on the activities, awesome!
Activity One:
You have found some great ideas from the story. What did you think about the story? Did you enjoy reading about Maui and his brothers?
I liked the part where one brother got made at the other for weighing down the boat and told him he was eating too much kumara!
Activity Two:
I like your letter to your friend John! I think he would be pretty happy to receive a letter from a waka. I think it would be so exciting to see land for the first time from your waka, I like that you have included this into your letter.
What do you think it would have been like travelling long distances this way?
My mum gets really sea sick so I think she would have hated it!!
Do you think they were scared about what they might find on the new islands they travelled to?
Bonus Activity:
I think it would be very tiring too, I have bad upper body strength so I would have to train really hard before trying a waka ama race!
Do you like to participate in other water activities though?
I have always wanted to try surfing!
I am really happy that you have made a start on your Blog Jake - Keep up the awesome work!
Ellee :)
