Paoa and Kiwa.

On  Wednsday 12 february 2020.
We went to room 10 at our school  to see a visitor who had came from the Tairāwhiti Museum to talk about the Horouta waka, a story about Paoa and Kiwa who sailed to Hawaikii
with kumara to plant. When they finally got to hawaikii they found  that the waka had broken because a
sand dune has broken the waka so Paoa went to
go look for the right kind of wood and Kiwa waited for Paoa to bring back the wood and as he waited for 
Paoa he named the place he was waiting Turanganui-a-kiwa{The waiting place of Kiwa}.
Paoa found the haumi they needed to fix the waka he found it on Maunga Haumi this is where Maunga 
Haumi got its name. When Paoa found the right wood he floted with it down the Waipaoa river. 
When Paoa gave Kiwa the wood Kiwa made miner repares. When the boat was fixed Paoa and Kiwa set sail.
to Gisborne. And when we were there we did some sand art and we made a waka but its not the exact same
as the waka Horouta because it only has one horrua.
The waka we made was made out of long peacies of bark and two kabarb stickes with two peacies of fabricke.
But first we did sand art and the Korka gave us a sheet to put glue on and it had a waka on it so we would put the glue on the lines but you dont full it in you just do the out lines and then we moved on to the wakas when we had fineshed our wakas she would give us a ipad and we would have to scan a bar code then it would take us to google earth and tell us about the stroy of Paoa and Kiwa.

This is the sand art.
