Maui's journey around New Zealand

An important part of learning about a language and 

culture is to get to know the stories that belong to 

that culture. This week listen to the story, ‘How Mauī 

Came to Maitahi - Bruce Bay.’  It is also Matariki at the 

moment and part of Matariki is to take time to tell and 

listen to stories.

WALT: understand some of the important stories to Māori culture and to our local areas.

Success Criteria: watch the story of ‘Māui’s arrival in Maitahi/Mahitahi’ and discuss as a class what we learnt in this story. 

Martyn Pin Book by Kevin Brooks

I read this book in the fiction section. 

I found the image from goodreads.
I've enjoyed this book because it is fun and interesting to read! It's
about a boy named Martyn Pig and his dad is a drunk and one day
the dad was being really annoying so Martyn pushed him and he hit
his head on the fireplace and died. Martyn tells his friend Alex who
often comes around to see martyn at night times and he told her but
her nosy boyfriend wonders what they talk about so he puts a tape
recorder in her bag and listens to what they are talking about and
finds out that Martyn didn't want to tell the police because he
thought they would wonder why he didn't ring straight away and he
doesn't want to live with his super mean and nasty aunty. Dean
Alex’s boyfriend also finds out Martyn has $30000 and says if you
get me the money I'll give you the tapes…
