When arrived at his new country he was knocked out by horse. So everybody had thought he died. They began digging his grave but suddenly he 

winked at his friend, he then carried on with life. I would like a having maybe a place named

In Social Studies we watched and also read a story about Maui. It was interesting to get like an old idea of what Maoris thought was true. They could learn how Maoris people have rough ideas of what happened. Also how everything is planned out.

Traditionally, the day began early,with prayers and singing to worship the rising sun.	The daily life of the community was based around getting food, so most people spent their days in activities such as...	Planting and attending to crops in communal garden.	Fishing or gathering seafood.
Hunting moa other birds or seals.	Children adults work alongside each other and chiefs work with their people.	The first meal of the day was around mid-morning. As the sun began to set, workers returned to the village and food was prepared and eat together.	The rest of the evening was spent in game and conversations, sometimes there were prayer to setting the sun, once it was dark people generally went to sleep.
