Hey Shelby,
ReplyDeleteHorray! Today is THE OFFICIAL 1st day of the Summer learning journey programme! It's wonderful to see your first S.L.J blog post! I really love how you have included an illustration of Maui and his fish hook! It's always nice to see something colourful! Wow I did not know about the information that you have given me on second bullet point! Hmmm....I wonder why Hawaiki is not on the map anymore? Thank you for sharing cool facts about Maui and Polynesia!
I can't wait to read and comment on your next blog post! :)
Cheers!

It’s awesome to see that you have completed the first activity. Ka pai! I love the green glowing hook that you have included it your image, its very mythical and i can imagine it could pull up the North Island!
