Summer Learning Journey (Bonus)

Activity: To this day, the people of New Zealand still use waka. Instead of using their waka to transport them from one place to another, they sometimes use waka in special events and in sporting competitions such as Waka Ama. Both boys and girls compete in Waka Ama boat races.

Watch this short video of a Waka Ama race. On your blog tell us whether you would like to be in a Waka Ama race one day. Why or why not?

I would like to be in a Waka Ama race one day, because I think it would be fun, challenging and would be great to experience what it would be like even if I won the race or lost the race.

      Hi Emily, if I won the race I would celebrate a little, then handshake the other teams and keep on practicing.

    Hi Bridget

    You live in the perfect place for a Waka Ama race.
    Lake Brunner would be a great place to be in a Waka Ama race!
    Have you seen any waka's on the lake? I think they do racing there?

    Well done, I think it would be fun too. You would have to be very fit!!

    Great work!
