Summer Learning Journey 2017- Day 1

Day 1
On day one we had to write down 3 facts about Maui.

• Maui was a fisherman who dragged up a giant fish now known as the North Island. His Waka that he was in with his brothers is what is known as the South Island.
• Maui fished up the North Island by hiding in the haul of his brother's waka. He used strong flax and a jawbone his ancestor gifted him. He also used blood from his nose to create bait to catch the fish.
• Maui wasn't greedy like his brothers. He wanted to keep the fish for the people, as his grandmother Murirangawhenua had said. "Guard our fish, and I will return soon with our people. Unfortunately his brothers had already started chopping into the fish. Which are now the gullies and Mountains of the North Island.

Maui Legends that I have heard of:

• Maui and the Sun
• The fish of Maui

1. Get your A3 piece of paper 
2. Cut your shapes, or get your paint, or pastels
3. Put your shapes, paint etc on the paper
