Maori Lessons

This week for Maori we had Whaea Odie. First Whaea Odie read us a book which was called Paikea. The book was about how a brother who rode on a taniwha. His brother was jealous of riding the taniwha, so he killed his brother. The brother who killed his brother rode on the taniwha. His name was changed to Paikea, so it could match the name of the taniwha. Once we listened to the story we had to search Whangara School and Whakatane on google maps. Then we had to find out the distance between Whangara School and the sea. We also had to find out the distance between Whakatane and Whangara School. We had to use our smart searching skills to find out the information. Whakatane l is 212.6 km from Whangara School, and the sea is 509.7 km from Whangara School. After that we had to listen to a song called Paikea.
