First Waka

Originally there were no people in New Zealand . The first people to settle in New Zealand  came in a series of waka. The first ten waka were named:Kurahaupō, Tākitimu, Mataatua, Tainui, Te Arawa, Aotea, Tokomaru, Horouta, Uruao, Ārai-te-uru.

Most of the waka visited the North island. Some of the places the waka landed at were Takapaukura, Takou Bay and Kaipara Harbour.

The ten waka came to New Zealand to discover new lands for people to live.

Listening

Kiwi Can was about listening.

We played ‘bop the cone’ to practise listening for instructions.

We also played ‘Chinese whispers’ to practise listening and hearing information.

I thought ‘Chinese whispers’ was a good way to practise listening skills.

Kupe And Cook

Kupe and Cook are 2 impotent explores in New Zealand history.

Kupe arrived in New Zealand in the ll00's. He travel eel by traditional methods it he fallowed a giant Octopus.He did they voyage to find New land for his people to live. His wife name'd New Zealand Aotearoa after seeing mountains under the clouds.

Kupe is impotent because he was the first documented person in New Zealand and opened it up to the world to access.
