Day 3: It’s All in the Family Activity 1: The More, the Merrier?

It would be crazy to live in a house with 11 people it would be loud and stupid to even have to have 9 babies I would not like it. I would feel annoyed because there is to many people.

Day 2: It’s All in a Day’s Work. Activity 1: A House or a Home?

Activity1

  • Compare the wharepuni to your own home. Whatare two similarities and to differences brtween a wharepuni and your house?

My house has a roof like the wharepuni, both triangler and we have bitchuman tiles instead of thatching. My house also has walls like the wharepuni, our top level doesnt have normal walls its walls are also its roof.


The wharepuni has more detail than my house, like tiki's and other carvings.


The wharepuni does not have individual rooms like we have, we have a kitchen, bathroom, toilet, lounge and sleeping room all in one building.

Day 1 In the Beginning Activity 2: Setting Sail

To DJ (Our Cat)

Hi it's me and my crew,
 I'm off to see the U.S.A, to study the lady of liberty but the only way I could get there was by Waka, sadly my crew has to miss out on the cool view but I can see all of the ocean. We went through 1 huge storm it was so big we got drenched. For food we have been eating fish that was fresh out of the sea, so far we cought 19 blue marlins 21 blue cod.( I cant believe how yum fresh fish is). We have now been on the Waka for 71 days we have 79 days left, I will be on this waka for a total of 150 days. Hope you have a meowtastic time.


From Nikoli.

Day 1 "Summer Learning Journey" In the beginning Activity 1 The First Settlers

I signed up for something I think could be really cool, it is called "Summer Learning Journey" and it is a good chance at improving your writing, reading and spelling so have you ever thought about joining.

The task this summer is to learn all about the history, people, and events that have shaped our beautiful country of Aotearoa throughout the past two centuries


As part of this journey on day one, we have to state three facts about Maui, here is mine.

Fact 1.  

  • Māui takes the jaw-bone of his ancestress Muri-ranga-Whenua and uses it as a weapon in his first expedition, to slow the sun down, so that the days are longer for them to do more things like farm more crop, play with there kids and build more houses.

Fact 2.   



  • Māui wanted to go fishing with his brothers but they keep making up excuses like he was to little but Māui was getting really angry so he thought to prove them wrong by hiding in the canoe (South Island, New Zealand) with his magic enchanted jawbone hook and caught the biggest fish (North Island, New Zealand)

Fact 3.  


  • Māui is now famous for all the really cool things he has done for us.
    • Slowing the Sun.
    • Fishing up the North Island
    • Maui was a DemiGod that made his parent proud by helping people.

Another story  I have heard about is Māui slowing the Sundown with a jaw bone and handmade rope. Maui had lots of help to hold the Sun and slow it down.
