Waka descripotion

 Mola lele, bloggers

My name is Ova, and today me and Paterson class have been learning about way finding navigation. I am going to tell you how to make a waka with Maori features.

Our waka  hourua is made out of totara wood, which is lighter than kauri wood.

We have two v-shaped hulls on each side. We chose Maori sails shaped like a v.

The sails are made out of flax (or harakeke in te reo maori), which is strongly woven. Our hut is located in the middle of the beam. 


My job on the waka is being a teacher. I teach kids to be really kind, treat people the way they want to be treated. If I am a teacher and kids aren’t being kind I will tell them to treat them nicely.


Here is a picture of my waka on tinkercard.
Thank you for reading! Have a awesome day. Bye Ova,

  1. Kia ora Ova. Wow, what a cool activity. It looks like you've done some te reo, some maths, some graphics, some PB4L and some science! It would be very cool if you could print your Tinkercad design on a 3D printer!

    I really like how you structured your text to explain to your readers the different parts of our activity! It is also very nice to read your text since you've done a lot of effort on proof reading and editing! Well done!

    What else have you learnt since I left?

    Keep on sharing your achievements and new knowledge in your blog!

    See you soon!
