Summer Learning Journey: Week 1

Summer Learning Journey: Week 1,

Activity 1-What three things did you learn about Maui?

I did not learn anything, I knew the story "Maui and the giant fish" and have read it on numerous occasions before this. Here is the link they sent me to.

Activity 2-Imagine you are on a waka and traveling to New Zealand, write a letter to a friend telling them how you  feel.

Here is my letter:

Dear Anahera,

We have been sailing for six nights now, everyone colder than the last. Hemi and

Awhina are becoming more and more frantic as the moons pass. Kupe says that we

will be there soon but I am not so sure, we have already past three other wakas and

i'm sure there are more to come. Tāwhirimātea has been kind to us and Tangaroa has

also.

I am nervous of this new land, Hemi says that he is excited but in his child brain
I know he is just as nervous as I am. We are all sad you are not here with us, we miss
your jokes and child-like nature. Awhina cries for you at night and I try to comfort
her, telling her that you will be with us soon.

Please tell me how you are fearing, I worry that without Anaru you are not getting
the meat you need. But you have Hohepa now and I am glad of that.

Love from, Ataahua
