Activity 1: The First Settlers
It is widely believed that the first people to arrive in New Zealand came from Polynesia. Most historians believe that they landed in New Zealand over 700 years ago. Although they were originally from many different countries, these settlers learned to live together and, eventually, formed their own distinct culture known as ‘Māori.’ Māori have their own language, traditions, and culture.
- Maui was a Believer
- A very good fisherman
- Thoughtful
A other stories that I have heard about Maui and get the sun to I was. Maui and the bothers went to get the sun. Because the day would go to fast that they had no time to go fishing.

My name is Jolie and I go to Glen Innes School,I am also doing the summer Learning Journey which means that I can see more of your amazing work. What was your favourite part about this activity? Why?. Keep up the great work.
Good morning Angel, thanks for completing this activity and well done for making a good start to your Summer Learning Journey.
I like the three facts you have included for this activity, especially the fact about Maui as a believer. He needed belief to persist with catching that big fish.
Have you ever been fishing?
Thanks, Billy
Hi there Angel,
Jade F here from the SLJ team! I really liked reading your three facts about Maui. I thought your fact about Maui being a believer was brilliant! Maui was definitely a believer of resilience and hard work; by never giving up and working hard to plan sneaking onto his brothers waka to go fishing with them!
I've heard of the other story about Maui that you've mentioned and how he caught sun. That has to be my favourite story about him because Maui really shows his cleverness in catching the cheeky sun! If you had to choose a favourite story about Maui what would it be? Let me know in a comment!
Looking forward to hearing from you and keep up the blog posting!
Cheers,
Jade F :)
Hi Angel!
My name is Ellee, I am another part of the Summer Learning Journey Crew that is commenting on your blogs this summer.
I hope you have had an amazing Christmas and New Years break?
Looks like you have made a great start to your activities - Awesome!
These are some really awesome facts from the Maui story, I like that you have found some ideas about Maui's personality and character.
Do you have a favourite part of the story?
I thought it was pretty funny when Maui's brothers got mad at each other for weighing down the boat and one of them said that the other had been eating too much kumara!
Hope to see you back blogging soon Angel!
Ellee :)
