DAY 1: In the Beginning...
Activity 1: The Legend of New Zealand
According to Māori mythology, much of Aotearoa New Zealand was formed when Māui, a powerful demigod, fished it out of the sea. Legend has it that Māui created a magical fish hook from the jawbone of his grandmother and that one day he took his hook, boarded a boat, and rode out into the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Once at sea, he threw his magical hook into the water and caught a fish. This ‘fish’ was actually the North Island of New Zealand! In honour of this legend, the North Island of New Zealand is sometimes referred to as Te Ika a Māui or ‘Māui’s fish’ and the South Island of New Zealand is sometimes referred to as Te Waka a Māui or ‘Māui’s canoe’.

Kia ora Hazel,
My name is Patricia and I am part of the Summer Learning Journey team. How nice is to see that your are actively engaging on completing the activities, way to go! I am here to comment and support your posts and guide you through this program.
For this activity you were required to find three fun facts about New Zealand. I like how you have been creative with the facts you selected to share with us which is quite refreshing! However, despite of the thumbs up for being original, it's important for you to research and check your information before publish it. For example in this post, you mentioned Michael Jackson as one of the famous new zealanders singers which is not the case. For the future, make sure to be very careful with the resources you are using before publishing any content, a good rule is to have a friend or someone from your family to read your post before you publish it.
Keep up the good work! I can't wait to see your next posts!
Kia kaha,
Patricia
