Practice Post.
For our Practice post, we had read about Maori mythology. And it's about how New Zealand was made, and it was also about Maui. Anyways, we have to tell you guys the Top 3 Facts about New Zealand.
#1. Maui was the person that formed New Zealand. He created a magical fish hook from his grandmother's jawbone, and one day he used a boat and went to the sea. He threw his magical hook, and he got a fish which is the North Island.
#2. The North Island is referred as "Te Ika a Maui" or you can say it in English "Maui's Fish", It's because Maui got the North Island using his hook and it's like a fish.
Also the South Island is referred as "Te Waka a Maui" or " Maui's canoe".
#3. The Maori name of New Zealand is "Aotearoa", it also means "Land of the Long White Cloud".
