Week One - Day One SLJ: In the Beginning







ACTIVITY 1
This story dates back Way way back about 700 years ago. New zealand was
discovered, and settled by a group of polynesians according to most people in new zealand.
They had to master teamwork, because if they use team than that will make their dream work.
So what they did was teamwork, and they assembled a very special culture that we still know today maori.
There is a maori dance which is named the haka, there are more than one haka. The haka first haka was made in 19th century.

ACTIVITY 2
The first settlers to come to New Zealand must have been really brave! They had to leave their own homes,
and go sail thousands of miles across the ocean. It is amazing that they have did that. They sailed on a boat called a waka to new zealand.

From this very day people actually still use this boat called a waka to go places to archive stuff, and for special things like ceremonies and more.
They used it for waka ama. Waka ama is a competition where ladies, and men compete to get to the finish line first  
Here's a video WAKA AMA.







Week One: In the Beginning (1800-1870)

Cool Kiwi Fact #1: Did you know that the Māori name for New Zealand is Aotearoa? Loosely translated this means ‘land of the long white cloud.’

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. On your blog,
post three facts that you learned about this interesting man. What other stories have you heard about Maui?







Activity 2: Setting Sail

The first settlers to come to New Zealand must have been really brave! They had to leave their original homes a
nd sail thousands of miles across the ocean on a special boat called a ‘waka’ to reach New Zealand.

Imagine that you were on board one of the wakas. On your blog, write a short letter to a friend telling them about your voyage to New Zealand.
In the letter be sure to tell them how you feel about moving to a new country. If it was me, I would have felt really nervous…


Bonus Activity: Waka Ama
To this day, the people of New Zealand still use waka.
Instead of using their waka to transport them from one place to another, they sometimes use waka in special events and in sporting competitions
such as Waka Ama. Both boys and girls compete in Waka Ama boat races.

I would like to be a waka ama cause they made it look easy but it was not and felt how hard it was for the first settlers to travel thousands of mile
s paddling day and night it would be amazing if I was a waka ama I would try my hardest to paddle as fast as
I can to paddle and that sport would be about fitness.

Task Description: This is the beginning where a group of Polynesians first settled new Zealand.
It is pretty amazing that they have done this.

The castaway story


 The castaway story
It all started when my plane crashed then I went to look around the island. I could see no one on the island Then went to make a shelter.


First I will explored the island and looked for anything useful. Like material then I looked for rocks so I can spit them then. I  cut the tip off of it then. Then




Then make my shelter then I would use the popped boat for a bed then look for big leafs. And look for warm materials to cover me. At night and make cloths and dry the one that I have on for when I get rescued.



First I would make a spear out of the stick. then I would get very sharp rock then sharpen the stick. then I would go spearfishing and then I would go to a coconut tree. If it's not to high I would climb up the coconut tree. but if it's too high then I would get another stick and sharpen it. and get something stretchy and done then go find banana’s .and on the way I killed the pig. by jumping off the rock the then stabbed it.then I found another pig that was pregnant then I would take it to my shelter then I would make a fire.



I made it out of sand with seaweed that said help and then I would make some smoke and at night I would make a big fire and would wave them down in the mornings.


Then four years later suddenly a superyacht come to the island for the then I saw them then I ran to them asked to drop me off to a city then I lived happily ever after.

6 facts about spiders

1.did you know There are around 40000 different species of spider in the world.

2.Most spiders make silk which they use to create spider webs and capture prey.

3.Hundreds of years ago, people put spider webs on their wounds because they believed it would help stop the bleeding. Scientists now know that the silk contains
vitamin K, which helps reduce bleeding.

4.The venom of the black widow spider attacks nerves by blocking their signals to the muscles, which causes the muscles to contract repeatedly and often painfully. Black widow bites can also cause other nerve-related problems, such as high blood pressure, restlessness, and severe facial spasms.

5.Giant Huntsman spiders have leg-spans of around 30cm

6.Spiders eat more insects than birds and bats combined.
