DAY 1 ACTIVITY 1

Day 1 : Arriving in New Zealand.
Activity 1: The first settlers.
It is widely believed that the first people to arrive in New Zealand came from Polynesia.
Most historians believe that they landed in New Zealand over 700 years ago.
Although they were originally from many different countries,
these settlers learned to live together and, eventually,
formed their own distinct culture known as ‘Māori.’  
Māori have their own language, traditions, and culture.
Follow this link to read a short story about a famous man in Māori mythology – Maui.

    Hey there Macky, my name is Billy and I will be blogging with you over the Summer. I look forward to hearing some more of your wonderful ideas.

    Thanks for completing the first activity.

    You have included some very interesting facts in your response that I did not know! Well done.

    What do you think about his brothers? Do you think they were mean to him at any stage?

    I wonder if they respected him after he caught that massive fish.

    Thanks, I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Billy
