I am doing the Summer Learning Journey, this is activity one. If you would like to take part in this here is the Link, and here is the website I got the information from.
Activity 1. The First Settlers.
Maui & The Giant Fish
Fact 1.
From reading this short story I have learnt that Maui will do almost anything to get what he wants and in very interesting ways, when his brothers wouldn't let him get any bait he made his own bait out of his own blood.
Fact 2.
Maui was a great fisherman and his ancestor Murirangawhenua had given him a jaw bone that he used as a hook. And Maui was determined to prove to his brothers that he could fish and he honestly knew deep down inside that he needed to accomplish this and prove his brothers utterly wrong. When he did it he didn't get greedy he went and got the village and tell them there was fresh food (unlike his greedy brothers).
Fact 3.
Maui had built anger over the years from his brothers. being mean, laughing at him & in some way Maui got his revenge.
Overall I think that Maui is a very strong personality. In fact I already knew this story so it shows how popular the Maui Myths & Legends stories are.
I hope you enjoyed reading this because I know that I enjoyed doing it

Kia Ora Julia,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Hazel, and I am the Cluster Manager for the Uru Manuka bloggers during the Summer Learning Journey.
I'm so pleased to see you making a start on the activities :) What a great idea to include a link to the registration page for anyone else who may want to join us.
I can see that you've found three great facts about Maui. I have heard many stories about Maui, but I think my favourite one would be the one about how he slowed down the sun to make the days longer.
I agree that Maui would probably have a lot of anger built up after being treated badly by his brothers for so many years.
Keep up the great work, and I look forward to reading more of your Summer Learning Journey posts!
Hazel :)
Kia Ora Hazel, i'm pretty sure we met when you came to my school. Thank you for posting a comment Hazel it means a lot to me. I didn't think about some of the other stories about Maui even though my little brother was giving me so many ideas.
DeleteWhat do you think would have happened if Maui didn't slow the sun?
Kind Regards
Julia
Kia Ora Julia,
DeleteThat's nice that you remember me :) I really enjoyed coming to speak to you all about the programme. You all gave me some great prize suggestions!
I think that if he hadn't slowed the sun our days would be much shorter. That would be a shame, especially now that it's summer, because there are so many things I wouldn't be able to do. It would be hard to get any work done in the dark, and going to the beach wouldn't be much fun at night!
I look forward to reading your next post.
Hazel :)
