Summer Learning Journey Day 2 Activity 2

In this activity I had to decide what my dream job would be and why I chose that certain job...

Here I have photoshopped (As I'm not a very good drawer) a picture of me in a courtroom. This is because at the current moment in my life after much thought about it I believe that I want to become a lawyer. I don't really know why I want to become a lawyer I just feel that it may have something to do with I how usually win controlled argument in philosophy but hey I guess we'll never know.

Summer Learning Journey Day 2 Activity 1

In this activity, I had to read articles about a wharepuni and compare them to a modern-day house. A wharepuni and modern-day houses and similar and different in many different ways. Some of the ways that they are similar are that they are built to last a long time and for people to live/sleep in. Another way that they are similar is not by use but by the look of them from the outside a wharepuni and a home look very similar. Contrary to what I just said is the fact that they are completely different on the inside. Inside a wharepuni is a large open space where everyone just sleeps. This is because in a traditional Maori village there a building for other things such as cooking. Where in a modern day household there are bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens all in one place.

Summer Learning Journey Day 1 Bons Activity

In this activity I had to watch a Waka ama/race and decide whether or not I would like to enter in one...

After watching the 2014 Master Men 500m Final (Video above). I deiced that I would want to compete in a waka ama race. One of the main reasons being that I've done a race like this before and when I did compete in it I really enjoyed it. The only thing that is putting me off about it is the effort and collaboration that they use. When I was watching the video I noticed how much synchronized they were and I'm not very good at being synchronized with other people.

Summer Learning Journey Day 1 Activity 2

In this activity, I had to write a letter to a friend from my home country giving them an update as to how our voyage from the homeland to New Zealand was...

Hey,

I just wanted to let you know that we arrived on land safely in the new country. We aren't sure what to call this new land. After we arrived we were just glad to put our exhausted feet on solid ground. I don't really know how to feel about this new land. I'm quite excited for all of the new adventures we are going to have but I'm a bit upset because I've left the rest of life behind to start a new one. With people that I don't really know well as well.

Well, I'll keep you up to date with all that happens.

From,
Harrison

Summer Learning Journey Day 1 Activity 1

In this activity, I had to read the Maori legend Maui and the big fish the write three facts that I learned from the story and also if I knew of any other Maori legends.

After reading Maui and the big fish I learned that...

1. New Zealand was created by Maui after he pulled a big fish which created the north island and his canoe was formed by his canoe/waka.
2. Maui used one of his ancestor's jawbone to pull up the big fish
3. Maui was a trickster

I haven't heard that many legends about Maui. However, I have heard one of them. Maui and the sun, in this legend Maui and his brothers, slowed down the sun to make the days longer.
