Activity 2: Setting Sail
The first settlers to come to New Zealand must have been really brave! They had to leave their original homes and sail thousands of miles across the ocean on a special boat called a ‘waka’ to reach New Zealand.
Imagine that you were on board one of the wakas. On your blog, write a short letter to a friend telling them about your voyage to New Zealand. In the letter be sure to tell them how you feel about moving to a new country.
Dear all of my friend's
If I was on that waka I would be exited and nervs Exited because I was going to a new country and nervs because something bad could of happened also I will be crying because I will miss my voyage. Thank you for reading my letter .
Kia Ora Siyona,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your letter to your friends. I would also be feeling very nervous if I had been on one of those waka. I think the thing I would be most worried about would be having enough food and water for the journey. What you be most nervous about? What are some of the things you would need to take with you? If I were leaving for a big voyage, I would make sure I packed food, water, and some books to read on the way.
