Maori Legend Storyboard

This week for inquiry the task was to create a storyboard about the Maori creation legend, according to the legends after Tane Mahuta and his brothers prised his parents apart they set out to create everything in the world. After they'd finished they then realised that there were no people to enjoy what they'd created, so Tane Mahuta offered his idea of creating a woman. The other brothers agreed with him so Tane Mahuta sculpted the woman, afterwards one brother told Tane Mahuta to take his breath and give the sculpture life. So that's how the first woman was created. We were allowed to work in groups so I worked with Alex.

Sailing Experience

Yesterday 23 students went to a sailing club for a school trip, I was lucky enough to be one of them. When we first arrived we were told how to stay safe while in the water, after that we were shown how to assemble the rafts so that we could assemble our own to sail in. After that we were given wet suits, life jackets and water proof vests. The process to getting the rafts into the water was to push your raft into the water with your partner and then one of the two of you needs to hold the raft while the other takes the trailer back. When in the water we were told to follow the motor boat around the harbour. After 2-3 hours of different games. capsizing, falling and being pushed into the water it was time to leave.

The Unfinished Drink
