Summer Learning Journey - In The Beginning

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

Aboriginal Art story

The Vigorous Spell

Once upon a time in the deep blue ocean, a turtle was ready to lay her eggs. Away she swam from her home, to lay upon a sandy beach. She quickly scrabbled up the sand and laid her soon to be children. She cast a spell so strong and vigorous so that her eggs could grow and hatch safely. Weeks went by until the most beautiful sunrise arose and her turtles hatched. Away they swam, into the wonderful deep, blue ocean, floating away, full of life.

The most magical poem

Hi, this is just a poem that I wrote. I would like some feedback, so please comment and I hope you enjoy reading my poem.

I will put in the Box

A powerful source of a simmering summer haze

A strong, wealthy, loving dog.

The flutter of a butterfly that is like a square jumping out of paper

I will put in the Box

The clouds that were playing.

An elephant too small to see, full of rage.

A net that is bouncy as can be also called a trampoline

I put into the Box

My grandads Army uniform,

An inch of light,

And a lightning strike.

I put into the Box

The wonderous mind of moonlight.

The whistling of wind

The overgrown grass that lives on the ground

My box is fashioned from dark grey wood & glass.

The top is a tinted grey blue glass with grey wood on the rims.

The hinges on the box are made out of old and rusted steel.

The bottom of the box is a dark grey wood

I Biked into the box

Through the woods, the bike wheeles hitting the ground,

The rough grounds rubbing against my tyres,

I see my dog zoom past, enjoying his time.

The A&P Show
