Bon Voyage?

Dear Jedi,

It is me Parwin, I think you were right about the sea sailing thing. Cause it is pretty scary but when it is night, the stars look beautiful! For food, I have to eat fish and there is ALOT of them here since I am at sea. I hope to see so soon!

Kind Regards,

Parwin

Right, when you read the tittle what do you think of?

And what about the letter?

This is a activity that I have done for the summer learning journey which is something that you do during the holidays but there is a certain amount of time that you have.

The activity was that you had to write a letter to someone and imagine that you are in a waka going over sea's. This is my letter as you can see and it is to my wonderful friend, Jedi!

Do you know who Maui is?

I have learnt a story about Maui and the giant fish, if you want me to tell you then keep reading!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usually Maui's brothers went fishing a lot. Maui also wanted to go fishing with them as well but when ever he would ask if he could come, they would just make an excuse. Maui really wanted to go fishing so he secretly made a plan... That night, when he was all by himself, he started weaving a fishing line with strong flax. While he was doing that, he also recited a karakia to make his fishing line strong. Once he was finished, he got the jawbone that his ancestor, murirangawhenua had given him, and tied it to the fishing line. When it was early in the morning, he hid in his brothers boat in the hull. When Maui's brothers were trying to pull the canoe, they noticed that the canoe was heavier than usual so they pulled harder.
None of them found out that Maui was hiding in the hull, when they dropped the anchor, they were far away from home, Maui surprised them! The brothers asked him what he is doing here and Maui replied that he is going to be the greatest fisherman. He told them to put their lines in the sea while he says his karakia so that they catch more fish. The boys instantly started catching fish one after an other. Maui then took his hook out and threw it into the sea. His brothers laughed and made fun of his fishing line, but Maui ignored them. He said his Karakia and threw his line in the sea, And a couple of seconds later, the hook got attached to something and the canoe started moving in full speed! The brothers told Maui to cute the line but he refused. Soon a huge fish was pulled to the surface. All the brothers were amazed to see a huge fish that big! Maui ordered his brothers to keep guard on the fish while he gets people to see his fish but while he was gone, the brother chomped greedily on the fish. When Maui was back with people, they were amazed as well and cheered "Maui is the best fisherman!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things I have learnt:

I have learnt things about Maui like, when he wants to do something but nobody helps him, he does it himself because he is determent to do it.

He believes that he can be the best fisherman and people believed it too.

There are different karakia's for every different THING 

Aboriginal story?

It was a starry night, when Ava and Austin were playing fishball before going to bed as usual. They heard many tales about the evil dolphin Aunos.

Aunos was a great dolphin and was always helping everybody when one day, he went into a cave and drank something that made him evil. He was then banished from the sea and no one knew whether he was dead, alive or where he was. That was when Ava and Austin saw a dolphin, slightly bigger than them and had a different colour body and had red eyes. At first, they didn’t know what to do, and as they swam away to call for help and tell them what they saw, Aunos struck lightning at them...
