IALT: Be educated more about what happened in the olden days here in NZ!
Good Afternoon EVERYBODY!
Welcome back to my blog!
So for our Activity 2, We had to write a letter to a peer or a friend about our voyage to NZ, because as you might already know - The first settlers that came to New Zealand had to leave their homes & where they stayed all their lives. They traveled on a boat that Maori people went on back in the day, where boats weren't build so they used their incentives to build Waka's!
In my side of the story, I personally think that a Waka is a special boat/canoe that Maori people use mostly, It helps them sail across the sea to do different kinds of things like fishing and all sorts of other stuff to keep their survival going, and to this day right now - Waka's are still used in dedicated things such as greeting people!
So we had to imagine ourselves being on board & traveling to New Zealand to find a better home to stay and also survive, My letter was to my class peer & also a relative of mine Aletheia - Who has ALSO joined the Summer Learning Journey programme...
As you can see, I've put in pictures of some Waka's & people in it. I've also themed my DLO blue since the ocean is a HUGE part in it!
What do you think about the work that had just been completed?
And would you EVER think to sail across the sea NZ? Why?
Malo aupito he sio mai ki hoku ngaue!
(Thankyou for looking at my work!)
Sincerely,
Your Summer Learning Journey Blogger - Akanesi!

Hi Akanesi,
ReplyDeleteRuby here from the Summer Learning Journey team.
Good work! This is a great blog post. I like how you have thought about using blue for your background. Also, I like how you've said you are looking forward to leaning about the Maori culture.
Have you ever been on a boat before? I have a few times but I always get so sea sick!
I look forward to reading more of your blog.
Cheers,
Ruby.
Hey Ruby,
DeleteThanks for the blog comment. Yes, I have been on a boat to Devonport with my school peers!
Much Appreciated,
Akanesi
Hi Akanesi,
DeleteHow cool! That is a fun boat ride, isn't it. I have been on that boat a few times as well.
What did you enjoy about being in a boat?
Cheers,
Ruby.
Hey Ruby,
DeleteIt is indeed AMAZING being on a boat ride and the reason behind that is because you get to look at the views & The beautiful fish in the ocean!
Malo Aupito,
Akanesi
