I tenei ra kua oti i ahau tetahi atu mahi Haerenga Ako Raumati. Ko te Haerenga Ako Raumati he kaupapa hei awhina i nga tauira ki te ako tonu puta noa i nga hararei o te Raumati.
I whakatau ahau ki te ngana ki te mahi whana timata. Ko te mahi he tuhi a Maui hei pakiwaituhi. I te tuatahi i mataki au i nga riipene ataata katoa hei awhina i ahau ki te whakaoti tika i tenei mahi. Whai muri i taku mataki i nga riipene whakaata, ka timata ahau ki te tuhi i a Maui. Ko te ahua o taku tuhi i a Maui i ahu mai i tana ahua i roto i tetahi o ana korero e kiia nei ko ‘How Maui slowed the Sun’. Ki te tuhi i a Maui, ka whakamahia e au he ahua, he taputapu raina pihi, he whakaahua mo te kauae me te piupiu. Ka mutu, ka taapirihia e au etahi korero taapiri he aha te ahua o te ahua o te uhi o te korero.
I kitea e au he mahi ngahau na te mea i taea e au te whakamatau i aku pukenga tuhi ma te whakamahi i nga taputapu i runga i te google draw.

Today I have completed another Summer Learning Journey activity. The Summer Learning Journey is a program that helps students keep learning throughout the Summer holidays.
I decided to attempt the kick start activity. The task was to draw Maui as a cartoon. I first watched all the videos to help me make sure I complete this task properly. After watching the videos, I got started on drawing Maui. The way I drew Maui was based on how he looked in one of his stories called ‘How Maui slowed the Sun’. To draw Maui, I used shapes, curve line tool, and images for the jaw bone and the piupiu. Finally, I just added some extra detail which kind of made it look like the cover of the story.
I found this activity fun because I was able to put my drawing skills to the test by using the tools on google draw.
Kia ora Te Raumati,
Tino pai on your drawing of Maui! I really like how you have incorporated drawing and real pictures together! It’s great to hear you are gaining confidence with google drawing tools!
How Maui slowed the sun is one of my favourite Maui stories! Have you read any other stories about Maui?
Look forward to your reply!
Ngā mihi,

Kia Ora Theresa,
Thank you for posting another comment on my blog post! I have read this story before. Some other stories I’ve read about Maui was ‘Maui and the Goddess of Fire’ and ‘How Maui fished up the North Island’. These stories really help me learn more about the Maori culture.
What is your favourite Maori story/stories and why?
Thank you
Te Raumati
Hello Te Raumati!
You’re very welcome! I love commenting on all of your creative work!
Oh those are great stories about Maui.
My favourite story is How Maui found his mother! I like it because in the story Maui is wrapped up in his mothers hair and cast into the ocean when he was born (because she thought he had passed away, but he actually was alive!). Tangaroa (God of the sea) protects him and he floats to an island and is raised by his uncle. At the end of the story, he goes on a journey and he ends up finding his mother. Its a lovely story of reuniting with whānau, love and connection. That’s why it’s my favourite!
Have you ever read Pania and the Reef?
