23rd Wednesday December Summer Learning Journey About Maui defeating the sun

                                                                The Names Maui 

                                     The  Maui that moved the sun with the help of my brothers

                                      I felt sorry for the villagers as they could not work as hard due to how little the day was. I had the courage and so did my brothers. I was happy with my decision. Preparing was a challenge but we plaited flax into rope to use. We arrived at the hole where the fierce sun rises up. Unknowingly the sun was caught in our trap. I sprung up onto to it and start smacking it with my weapon. The Sun says '' YOur gonna kill me!''. ''No'' I say. But I will send far away from this place. Off he went drifting as the atmosphere got a bit cooler. It was a struggle I was tired but was proud of what I did in the end.

      Hi Benjamin , I enjoyed this activity and learning about this maori myth. I don't speak it fluently, but am learning at school.

      That's awesome that you're learning at school, we didn't have many opportunities to learn when I was your age. Do you think you'll speak fluently one day? Are there any other languages that you speak?

      Cool, so one day you may be trilingual! At the moment I can only speak english so I'm monolingual, but I'm learning Māori and Farsi so I'll be trilingual too one day.

      Regards,
      Benjamin
