Week 1 - Day 1 - Bonus Actitivity Waka ama

For this activity I have to write why or why not would you do this activity.

I would love to do this activity because it looks like a good exercise. I love trying new things and playing new sports in my spare time. If i did a waka ama race I would meet new friends and learn to use team work and communication to win. This activity looks really fun but difficult at the same time. I wouldn't enter a real race unless I get a life jacket because Unlucky for me if the waka tips over I cant swim.

Week 1 - Day 1 - Activity 2 Setting Sail

Hi Ofa, Our journey to New Zealand is long but beautiful. The ocean and mountains are attractive and beautiful. I am nervous to be the first settlers in New Zealand but excited to explore the island. In a distance I can see the beautiful shores of New Zealand. I am amazed with the amount of nature and animals on this island. When I get on the island I'm going to spend my time swimming in the spectacular waters.
Yours Sincerely, Freeman
For this activity I had to describe how I am feeling to be the first settlers in New Zealand. I described the beautiful landscape of New Zealand and used powerful words to describe the beautiful nature.

Week 1 - Day 1 - Activity 1 Arriving in New Zealand

For this activity I have read a story about Maui and the giant fish. This story is about Maui pulling up a gigantic fish know as the north island of Aotearoa. The south island of Aotearoa is the canoe that he used to pull up the north island. Maui had also brought fire to the world and slowed the sun from making our days faster. I found this story interesting because I didn't know the north island was a fish and the south island was the canoe he used. 

1.  Maui had used a Jaw Bone as a hook from his ancestor Murirangawhenua
2. He used his blood from his nose as bait to catch the giant fish
3. The North Island of New Zealand is a fish
