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.

Hey Brooke! Wow, what an original and impressive way to complete the first task. I am so impressed.
ReplyDeleteInteresting facts you have included too. Could you explain to me what a 'Demi' God is?
In the story about Maui catching the giant fish, his older brothers weren't very nice to him, not letting him join them on their fishing trip. Why do you think they treated him like that?
I love the story about how Maui brought fire to the world. That is certainly one of my favourites!
Thanks, look forward to hearing from you soon!
