Hi Joel,
ReplyDeleteYou have found out some awesome information about how the Polynesian people travelled to New Zealand. Good work! I think it's very interesting how the crew was 5-15 people. That's not very many!
Just a reminder that the activity asked you to read a story about Maui and then tell us three facts from that story. Here is the link to the story: http://eng.mataurangamaori.tki.org.nz/Support-materials/Te-Reo-Maori/Maori-Myths-Legends-and-Contemporary-Stories/Maui-and-the-giant-fish
Once you have read the story and come up with 3 facts you can post them here on the comments section so I can see what you came up with!
I look forward to reading more of your blog.
Cheers,
Ruby.
Greetings Joel
