Activity 3: Ice, Ice Baby

For this activity we had to explain how to create a Positive Digital Footprint inside a digital foot print. Here is mine.

Activity 1: Top 3 Facts

For this activity we had to look at the New Zealand tourism website and choose three facts from it about New Zealand. 

• The Auckland City Sky Tower is the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere at 328 meters tall.
• New Zealanders have 2.5 million cars for 4 million people which means we have one of the highest car ownership rate in the world.
• 30% of the country is forest.

Waka Ama

Waka Ama is a boat race with waka, for boys and girls.

Here is a video of the 2014 National Sprints Master Men 500m Final.



For this task we were asked if one day we would like to be in Waka Ama. I would really like to, because I think I would be good at it and give it my best. Also because I enjoy a challenge, and I would love to take the opportunity, that is a one in a million experience that if I decide to take will change my life, Also I think it will be very exciting.

Setting Sail

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.

Māori Mythology: Māui and the Giant Fish

Māui and the Giant Fish is a very interesting story, about how Māui fished up New Zealand. Here is a link to the website.

Three facts I learnt about Māui..

1. He was determinded person who did amazing things for his people.
2. He was intelligent and thought outside the box when he was making his plans.
3. He was very resilient he didn't give up when his brothers didn't let him go fishing with them, and made a plan so he could fish with them and didn't give up.

I have also hear of two other tales of Māui's adventures like Māui slowing down the Sun as well as Māui and Fire.
