Bonus Activity: In Flanders Fields It makes me feel very lucky to live in a beautiful, safe country like New Zealand. It also makes me feel sad for those who died in the war and for their families.

3 Activity: Waka Ama

To this day, the people of New Zealand still use waka. Instead of using their waka to transport them from one place to another, they sometimes use waka in special events and in sporting competitions such as Waka Ama. Both boys and girls compete in Waka Ama boat races.

Watch this short video of a Waka Ama race. On your blog tell us whether you would like to be in a Waka Ama race one day. Why or why not?

I don't wont to do Waka Ama race because It is going to be hard and if you won't  be tiring  then your  team will get down also your hands will start hurting that is why I don't wont to do it

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 .
