Day 2: It’s All in a Day’s Work

Day 2: It’s All in a Day’s Work Activity 2: The Rules of Engagement During the early years in New Zealand, men and women would often marry at a young age. Women were expected to have babies and remain in the home caring for their children. Few, if any, left home in search of work. Men, on the other hand, were expected to work outside of the home. These days, we don’t have the same strict expectations about work. Girls and boys can choose their own path in life. In fact, I was lucky enough to go to university and to follow my dream of becoming a teacher! What is your dream job? Draw a picture of yourself doing your dream job and post it on your blog. You could be a doctor, an actor or even a zookeeper! I have drawn myself taking a picture of a beautiful castle in Poland because I would love to become a travel blogger and photographer one day. My Dream job is to be a builder and drive the bulldozer and because I like to drive trucks and shifting them to places...

SMLJ - Day 2, Activity 1,2 and Bonus Activity,

Activity 1: A House or a Home?

In the 1800s, most Māori lived in villages called pa. Each village had many buildings – kauta where people cooked, pataka where they stored goods and wharepuni where the Māori slept. A traditional wharepuni had a thatched roof and walls made of timber, fern, rushes and bark. Look at the picture below of a traditional wharepuni. Does it look like your house?

On your blog, compare the wharepuni to your own home. What are two similarities and two differences between a wharepuni and your house.

My house has no pantins.

But a wharepuni has pantins that a craved out.

My house is panted white.
But are wharepuni is not panted at all.

The Bag Guy (Episode 4)

Today Thursday 25th January I red The Bad Guys Book .

Chapter one, it was about this billionaire, MAD scientist Mr Rupert Marmalade who invented zombie kittens commonly known and Zitten, so zittens hate water, love Yarn balls and if you here a little bells that is the sound that the little zitten makes.

These 4 Guys called, Mr Wolf, Mr Shark, Spider and the snake... They were all in a little pool on top of each other, well all of the zitten surrounded them they were talking about how they should try and save themselves so the snake said "Lets throw Mr wolf and we will make a run for it and he can be a real hero for the first time", so Mr Wolf agreed with him because he said we are hero's we don't run from fights like this, just before they threw Mr wolf ,then  agent wolf came and saved the day. That's what Chapter One is all about :)

SMLJ Activity 2 - Bonus Activity - Day 1 - 2017

Activity 2: Setting Sail

The first settlers to come to New Zealand must have been really brave! They had to leave their original homes and 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…

I would feel a little scared becasue of were going to another country on a waka and you never know what could happened like for example: "a whale is under the waka it could jump up and land right on top of the boat.

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.

Watch this short video of a Waka Ama race. On your blog tell us whether you would like to be in a Waka Ama race one day. Why or why not?

I would like to be in a waka Ama race because firstly its fun and also becasue its a good for your arms.

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?
