This is a waka. If you didn't know what one was. |
The first settlers to come to New Zealand must
have been really brave! They had to leave
their original homes and sail thousands of
miles across the ocean on a special boat
called a ‘waka’ to reach New Zealand.
Imagine that you were on board one of the
wakas. On your blog, write a short letter to a
friend telling them about your voyage to New
Zealand. In the letter be sure to tell them how
you feel about moving to a new country. If it
was me, I would have felt really nervous
Dear Mum
We have been sailing for Five days and I'm so nervous I don't know what to expect. How is Unique and the family back there can tell them I miss them and I'll send them a letter soon. We are 5000 miles to New Zealand and the friends I have made on the waka is AMAZING there so helpful and just the people back home. I can't wait to tell you all about it. The food is difference but okay I like your food better.
Goodbye Right you later
