As part of our Inquiry learning, we have been learning all about Kupe and Te Wheke and their incredible journeys as explorers.
We have been discovering what life was like for early Māori explorers and learning about the important role that the waka hourua played in their journeys across the ocean.
To bring our learning to life, we designed and built our very own waka! We had to think carefully about our designs, the materials we would use, and how we could make our waka strong and seaworthy.
We are so proud of what we created and loved having the opportunity to be explorers and engineers ourselves.
Check out our amazing waka creations!
