Hello Blogging World, As you all know we have started the holidays but my school still has one day left. Due to that Waikowhai Primary and the Ako Hiko Area have started the Summer Learning Journey. If you didn't see my last blog about this then here is some basic and quick information, The summer learning journey is a program that keeps your knowledge up through the school holidays. This times theme is... Drumroll.... Time Tavel! We are doing 1800 - 1870 so not very long but this only last four weeks (A month).
As part of today, we read one of the many stories from Maui, Maui and the Gaint Fish. We need to tell three facts that we knew or learned from the story.
I have read many of the Maui stories with my teacher and my class but I cant share all of them. My favorite one would probably Be Maui and the sun because it showed some very important time and it made me think "Hmm, so are daylight saving when he is pushed down harder (to the ground) or when he free himself a little bit". Also to celebrate the book we did some art and the middle school did a big painting of Maui holding down the sun which stayed in the corridor for a while. If you haven't read you should, it can also be found here. Here is my work!
- The FIsh that Maui caught has been made to a remarkable landscape that is part of New Zealand.
- Maui Never got to go fishing with his brother because his brother thought that he wasn't good and they would make fun of him.
- When Maui Made it onto the boat and they where far enough Maui jumped out of his hiding spot, while this was happening again his brothers were making fun of him. Soon enough Maui couldn't take the waves of laughter and with anger, he punched his nose, covering the blood all around his fish hook.

Hey Lily,
ReplyDeleteThis is such an excellent post, you have put a lot of thought and imagination into your work. I really liked your fact about how Maui used his own blood to catch the big fish, now known as the North Island of New Zealand. I admire Maui because even though his brothers laughed at him, he persevered and decided he was going to be a great fisherman. Can you think of something that you would work hard to be great at?
I am excited to read more of your posts on the Summer Learning Journey.
Have a lovely day,
Megan
