Day 1 summer learning journey

This is the first day of the summer learning journey here is the question.



DAY 1: In the Beginning... Activity 1:  The Legend of New Zealand  [4 points] According to Māori mythology, much of Aotearoa New Zealand was formed when Māui, a powerful demigod, fished it out of the sea. Legend has it that Māui created a magical fish hook from the jawbone of his grandmother, and that one day he took his hook, boarded a boat and rode out into the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Once at sea, he threw his magical hook into the water and caught a fish. This ‘fish’ was the North Island of New Zealand! In honour of this legend, the North Island of New Zealand is sometimes referred to as Te Ika a M ā ui or ‘M ā ui’s fish’ and the South Island of New Zealand is sometimes referred to as Te Waka a M ā ui or ‘M ā ui’s canoe’.



What are some other cool or interesting facts that you know about Aotearoa New Zealand? List three cool facts about this fabulous country of ours. '
