The first settlers to come to New Zealand must have been really
brave! They had to leave their original homes and sail thousands
of miles across the ocean on a special boat called a ‘waka’ to
reach New Zealand.
Imagine that you were on board one of the wakas. On your blog,
write a short letter to a friend telling them about your voyage
to New Zealand. In the letter be sure to tell them how you feel
about moving to a new country. If it was me, I would have felt
really nervous…
Dear Aaliyah,
I am presently in a Waka and on my way to New Zealand.
I am very nervous but thrilled at the same time.
I do wish you could be here with me.
Safe regards
Maris Stella
Hi again Maris Stella, thanks for writing the letter, you have made a really good start. Could you tell me a bit more about the journey. I would love to hear about the weather, the waves, the sea creatures or the food.
ReplyDeleteThanks, can't wait to hear some more.
