article writing

Why did the the Māori come to New Zealand?

Before we start I will interview two people why they think Māori  came to New Zealand   The first people to arrive in New Zealand were the ancestors of the Maori. The first settlers probably arrived from Polynesia between 1200 and 1300 ad. They detected New Zealand as they explored the sea, navigating by the ocean currents, winds and stars. Some tribal traditions say the first Polynesian navigator to detect New Zealand was Kupe. The first European to arrive in New Zealand was the Dutch adventure Abel Tasman in 1642. The name New Zealand comes from the Dutch ‘Nieuw Zeeland’, the name first given to us by a Dutch mapmaker. A surprisingly huge time passed 127 years before New Zealand was visited by another European. The Englishman Captain James Cook arrived here in 1769 on the first of 3 voyages.On 6 February 1840 at Waitangi, William Hobson, New Zealand’s first Governor, invited assembled Maori chiefs to sign a treaty with the British. The treaty was taken all around the country as far for signing by local chiefs. More than 400 chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi.

You are the warriors chosen by your Rangatira to lead a rescue mission. You are safe at home at Kaiapoi Pa but have heard news of your kinsmen in distress. Ōnawe Pa is under attack and you must get there as soon as possible to rescue those who are under threat and help fight against  Te Rauparaha’s advancing war party. This week for maths we learned coordinates and how to use maps. Here are the coordinates of Kaiapoi pa  43.225*S,172.39*E and Onawe pa 43'774*E,172.92s*E.

if you use a waka its 120km.

How to get there travel, 1.13km north, travel 620m west, travel 148m north, travel 540m west, travel 614m north, travel 1.23km west travel, 1.16m north travel, 1.39km south, travel 1.63 north, travel 13.3km south, travel 2.99km north, 1.22km west, travel 58.5km north, travel 519m south than your there.

Writing - tuna (Eels)

Over the last couple of weeks we have been researching information about Tuna (eels). We have been learning to write a report using the information we have found.

Our challenges were to include a complex sentence and to use a hyphen followed by a list.

Longfin eels can be found in a rare colour gold, the longfin can be found in New Zealand only. The eels use its sense of smell to detect prey- slimy,speed and wriggly. It could be as big as a human arm. It is really slippery and slimy and wriggly it can weigh up to 20kg. It can snatches it's prey in a flash. They could live up to 100 years old but the average 35-52  years old.
