First Waka

Origanily there were no people in New Zealand. The first people to settle  in New Zealand came in a series of waka. 

The first ten waka were named Kurahaupō,Tākitimu, Mataatua, Tainui, Ārai-te-uru, Te Arawa, Aotea, Tokomaru , Horouta and Uruao.

Most of the waka visted and landed at the North Island. Some places they landed at were Kaipara Harbour

Hawaiki and Shag Point.

The ten waka came to New Zealand to discover new lands for people to live.

Visualising

Visualising is drawing an image, map, Mind map, or inforgrapic about text that is difficult to understand. 

To Visualise a difficult sentence, break it up into parts and then draw each part. If there are any words that are unknown they should be looked up in a childeren's dictonary. Childeren's are best suited for young learners.

Visualising is a good way to easly understand difficult texts.

He was the first person who mapped New Zealand. I learnt something new from Dayton. Capatin James Cook went out to find Austraila. 

Kiwi Can

LI.To listen to what other people are saying to you 

For Kiwi Can our topic was leadership. Leadership is when your are taking responibilty to others. Bad leaders are people who don't take reponsilbity or take ideas that are given to you. A good leader is someone who takes responibility of you and takes ideas that other give to you. To practise listening we played a game called Chinese whispers. Chinese whispers is a game where someone who whispers a word to one person to the other then the end person has to say the right word or sentence.
