Room 2 Mighty Mariners Movie

Look and listen to the incredible writing Room 2 has created about
Kupe and his journey of discovery of Aotearoa.
The entire story (which we have been working on for 6 weeks)
is at the end of the movie. See if you can keep up and read it aloud to someone else!!

Mighty Maori mariners and their waka hourua. . .


Long, long ago the mighty Maori mariners discovered Aotearoa.
There were seven waka travelling together, and they were called Takitimu, Mataatua.
Other wakas were called Te Arawa, Tokomaru and Kurahaupo.
Kupe led the way for the other mighty mariners. Over 80 people rowed the waka.
