Māori traveled in boats called Waka they are long and skinny, a like canoes and maded of wood.
For this task we wrote a short letter about our vogue to a friend. Here is mine.
Dear Friend
I know it's been a long time since we last wrote and I know that this won't get to you for sometime. I know we will probaly get there when you get this. It feel like forever, moving up and down with the waves, all tired from late nights not being able to sleep at all. It's very cold the water almost every where we look. I hope the we will find land soon.
Miss you
From Your Friend.
Dear Friend
We have not been able to find very much writing materials, but I found this old letter I started weeks ago traveling in the Waka. It's been a long time since we last saw each other hopefully we will meet again. The land feels strange and firm, we are all used to the rocking waves. It's beautiful here, I wonder if you and your family will come. It's nice and green, there is so much to explore. I hope you get this, one day.
Miss you
From Your Friend.

Hi there Tia,
ReplyDeleteGreat work on this activity, your letters really gave me that feeling of reading from a travel journal. I could also feel those emotions that you were feeling being on the waka for that long period of time in your words which is amazing. Giving details like talking about the movement of the boat and sleepless nights made me envision myself on the voyage as well. If you had the opportunity to sail on a waka would you go?
Hope to hear from you soon and keep up your awesome blog posts!
