Maui And the Giant Fish

The story explained that Maui caught a giant fish which turned into land and the boat crashed while Maui and his brothers froze to death and turned into stone which is now known and the Southern Alps.

Something positive about it is that it is a good story and it has good explanation of what was happening.

Maori History - Moko

In Social Studies we are learning about the maori history. Moko's were a maori version of a tattoo. The ink was burnt wood and applied by using a little hammer and a sharp tool. This would go deep in its skin and make a long lasting scar. This victim would bleed a lot! Some people even died after this just to look good when you fight other tribes.


The chin area means Wairua Or Mana.
