Waka building.
We have been talking, watching and think about the beginning of history in Aotearoa and the first people to arrive to our country. We have been learning about Kupe's navigation here and the waka that he travelled on.
The tamariki have really enjoyed engaging in this mahi. Watching and listening to the stories, creating and sailing their own waka, hearing about the Wheke being defeated and the people arriving to this whenua.
Ask them what they know about this.
Paddling the waka, spotting a wheke in the water...
Do these waka float?
Thank you for the Great Post!
