Maui -
* He has 3 older brothers.
* His brothers wouldn't let him go fishing with them but he soon became the best fisher out of them all.
* Maui is actually an island in Hawaii.
This fishing story is not the only story I've heard of, if you have watched Moana then you know there is a character called Maui who is inspired by him and he has the hook. The same one that Maui used to catch the fish. Also the sign for the Uru Manuka cluster has a hook in it.
Kia Ora Chloe,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Hazel, and I will be one of the people reading your blog posts this summer. It's great to see you're so eager to start your Summer Learning Journey.
I enjoyed your three facts, especially the one about Maui being the name of an island in Hawaii!
I loved the film, Moana. My favourite song was the one that Maui sings, You're Welcome. Did you like the movie? Which song was your favourite?
I've heard a few other stories about Maui, like the one about how he slowed the sun down so that the days would be longer. Have you heard that one? You can watch a cool video of the story if you click on the link below.

Hey Chloe,
ReplyDeleteThis is Jade C from the Summer Learning Journey team. I will also be reading your posts and blogging with you over the summer! It's good to see some activity posts on your blog! Remember you still have time to finish the activities and you can choose to do them in any order you want :)
You have written some interesting facts here : Maui is an island in Hawaii and Maui is the best fisher out of all his brothers! Did you enjoy the story? I liked reading other Maui stories such as 'Maui and the Secret of Fire'.
I've also watched Moana in the theatres with my family. My little sister liked the movie a lot and she kept on singing the songs from Moana. I like the 'Your Welcome' song the best! How about you?
I would love to hear back from you!
Cheers,
Jade C.
Hey Chloe.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Clare and I am from the Summer learning journey, I work mostly in the Ako Hiko cluster and today I am visiting the Uru Manuka cluster and seeing all the fantastic work students at your school are doing. I live in Auckland so it is exciting for me to comment on students blogs in the South Island and learn all the amazing things going on at Hornby High School.
I like how you have shared some really interesting facts from Maui and the story you read. Did you enjoy learning about this legend? I always enjoy reading the story from how Maui caught the sun. I like how you pointed out that your cluster also has a hook in it for the logo. Great observation there.
I have not seen Moana movie but I think its high time I go and watch it.
You have some really great Comments on your blog, don't forget to comment back to recieve more points, plus we would love to hear back from you and hear all the answers to the question we ask.
See you online here soon.
