Kia Ora Astin,
ReplyDeleteIt’s awesome to see that you have started the Summer Learning Journey activities!
I’m Dani, I’m one of the bloggers checking out all the cool blogs from students in the Kaikohekohe cluster. I love that you have added some photos that relate to Maui and the giant fish.That first picture really shows how the fish is the outline of the north island of New Zealand. Have you read any other myths or legends about Maui. One of my favourite ones is about how Maui brought fire to the world. If you wanted to have a read of it, heres the link : http://eng.mataurangamaori.tki.org.nz/Support-materials/Te-Reo-Maori/Maori-Myths-Legends-and-Contemporary-Stories/How-Maui-brought-fire-to-the-world
I’m excited to read more of your blogs soon!

Hey Astin,
ReplyDeleteThis is Jade C from the Summer Learning Journey blogging team. I will be reading and commenting on your blog over this summer. I hope you are spending a wonderful time with your family and friends!
This is a great start to the Summer Learning Journey programme, did you like the story of Maui and the Giant Fish? I remember the first time I've read this story. I also read other fascinating Maui myths and legends and my favourite is Maui and the Secret of Fire. It's great that you've included pictures of the hook and the fish to show how they transformed into North and South Island of New Zealand.
I can see that you haven't been posting any blogs since December, last year. It would be great to read your other activity blogs soon! I would love to read more of your blog and comment on them! To help you get started with blogging this summer, I have included the link to our Summer Learning Journey activities list.

All the best,
