Hi everyone,

Museum Fun

Hi everyone, 

Last term we went to the museum and learned about navigation, the waka haurua, stars, and the tools the Maori used to use when building things.

Navigation

We learned about all the different navigators like Captain Cook/Tupia, Maui, Kupe, and Pawa, and Kiwa. 

These are all famous navigators. Captain Cook and Tupaia came to NZ a long long time ago and before they came Captain Cook went to the pacific islands and met Tupia who wanted to come with them on the endeavor to NZ Captain Cook said yes. When they got to NZ Tupia learned that his language is close to Maori so they could understand each other sadly on the gaerny back home to England Tupia sadly died.

Maui, Kupe and pawa, and kiwi are all Maori legends and are part of their history.

Moari Tools

Some Maori tools are the Toki a carving tool, the Tuwiri a tool that has a sharp stone a the end and can make holes in wood, and some materials that they used are whalebones, flax, rocks, and native woods. They would use these tools and materials to make waka and huts.

   

                                

          

Tigers

 Hi everyone,

A couple of weeks ago we did tiger or snake reports and this is mine. I did a tiger because they are carnivores and they are very fury and elegant well more elegant than snakes😄. What I enjoyed was finding out facts about tigers. What I found challenging was the appearance but it was very fun😁.
