Activity ONE: The First Settlers
Māui is a demi god from Māori myths and legends. Here are some interesting facts I have found out about him.
1. It is said that he caught the North Island with a fishing hook and used the South Island as a waka!
2. Māui has many brothers and he is the youngest of the lot. He is also very mischievous and will get up to a lot of trouble.
3.
I watched the movie Moana where Māui was the demi god who helped Moana save her land. He was very arrogant and stubborn. He has magic powers and could turn into different animals (shape-shifter). The Maui in the movie is much nicer than the one in the story as he becomes good friends with Moana.
I have attached a image I created, representing the story of Maui.
Hi Mrs Lee, my name is Ramsay and I'm a student in Room 8. I really like the way you have taught me some facts about Maui. What is your idea on a Demi God, would you like to be one? I also like how you created you own boat. Keep up the great work. Hope to hear from you soon!
