Activity 1: The first settlers
3 facts about Maui the demi god.
1. The giant fish the Maui caught is the North Island of New Zealand and Maui's waka is the South Island of New Zealand.
2. Maui had a lot of brothers and he was always troublesome.
3. Maui caught a giant fish but some people say that he is a myth and legend.
I have whatched the movie Moana. Maui is also in the movie Moana and has the power to change into different animals. Maui also helps Moana to save her village.
Here's and a drawing of Maui's fish hook.

ReplyDeleteHi Tyler,
ReplyDeleteI'm Jade C and I will be reading and commenting on your blog this summer.
Today is the official start day of the Summer learning journey programme! It's super great to see your first S.L.J blog post!
First of all, I really love how you have included a special drawing of Maui's fish hook! It's always nice to see something colourful and arty! I would love to see more of your artworks because I am also a visual learner and I love art!
I also like the way you described and explained the geography of New Zealand linking to the Maui legend. Also it's amazing to see that you linked the text with your own personal experience (Moana movie), I would love to read more about you and your personal stories by linking it with the activities!
I can't wait to read and comment your next blog post! :)
All the best!
Jade C.

Well done on completing the first Summer Learning Journey activity! You have written some great facts about Maui. you have mentioned the Moana movie and Maui and the giant fish but do you know any other myths about Maui? One of my favourite myths about Maui is about how he discovered fire. Have you heard of that one?
