Today we learnt about the longest place name in NZ. I wonder who is going to take on the challenge and learn it off by heart by Monday?

Room 1's Onawe Pa Model

Not so long ago Room 1 learnt about Onawe Pa which is a village where the Maori used to live. A pa is a village on a big hill. Making a pa is very challenging. We used sticks for the houses, clay for the warriors and the island is made out of sand. 

I learnt that Onawe pa is shaped like a whale. About 1200 Maori  people lived there. The men used to go fishing and hunting and they would then bring back fish and meat which they caught. The women used to stay home and look after the children and do the cooking and house work.

Maui and the Sun

There I was hiding, waiting for the sun to rise.

My feet sore walking day and night

I was holding my grandmothers jawbone waiting until time.

Finally there it was I jumped up and yelled…

Now brothers now!

'Boom ouch, ouch, stop it, please!' the sun sobbed.

I will not kill you I will just make you go slower.
