Activity 1 | Moana
In late 2016, the movie Moana was released by Disney. It’s a beautiful story about a young Polynesian girl from the fictional island of Motunui, who goes on a big adventure.
Watch the trailer for Moana and then write a summary of the movie on your blog. If you’ve seen the movie, you can include your favourite part! Tell us as much as you can about the movie. What is it about? Who are the main characters in the movie? What do they do in the movie? Where do they go?
Moana the Movie
I have already seen this movie and this movie is about a polynesian girl. The ocean chose her to receive the heat of Te Fiti. She vogages the sea and finds Maui and asks him to help to find Te Fifti. After finding the Te Fifti they restore the Te Fifti and Moana puts back the heart. Moana sails back to Motonui and becomes the cheif.
Activity 2 | Country Calendar
Did you know that the longest running television show in New Zealand history is a programme called ‘Country Calendar’? It started on 6 March 1966 and has been running ever since. The programme includes stories of everyday New Zealanders, many of whom are farmers.
Watch this short clip from Country Calendar. What do you think would be the most interesting and/or challenging things about being a farmer? Would you would like to be a farmer when you are older. Why/why not? Give us, at least, two reasons to support your answer.
Being a Farmer
I think the hardest thing about being a farmer would be having to start your day early and ending it late.
I would not like to be a farmer when I grow up because:
- I couldn't deal with all the mess and cow manure the animals make, It'll drive me crazy.
