Tangata Whenua

Tangata Whenua

Today during hurumanu I watched a video about how the Maori people found Aotearoa and I'm going to tell the info there was from the video.

A man named Kupe was the first person who set foot on Aotearoa along with his wife while chasing an octopus.

Kupe named the island he set foot on Aotearoa after looking at the long white cloud at the top of it. 

Maori people arrived in New Zealand from Hawaiki, although when they arrived in New Zealand they couldn't return back because of the strong wind that was with it. 

Then on Maori brought dogs and rats. Long before Maori found Aotearoa they used canoes to travel to nearby islands such as the Philippines, Taiwan and Papua New Guinea.

Then, later on, they started to invent a new boat that can travel further than the canoe that was named Waka.

The Waka had two boats that are joined together with a sail so they wouldn't have to paddle anymore. During then the Maori were able to travel to further places such as America. 

Thanks for reading.

Short Story

Every day on school time I always get bullied by a big gang  of seniors til after school time, when I was about to head home then one step towards the street, bullies were blocking my path, they took turns punching my stomach when I  accidentally tripped over on some green sticky goo then started to heal my wounds, I also gain super strength, the bullies tried to punch me again but I punched him back, they ran away while the goo powers fade away,
so every day on school time the bullies stopped bullying me and started to get detention every school lunch, nobody believed what the bullies said to the teachers or his parents, it was the best and unforgettable day where I can get peace and quiet.
