Kupe report
Today we learnt about kupe and all his adventures and i am here to tell you about what i have learnt . to start off kupe was the first explorer to find aotearoa by accident which is pretty funny because he was on his way to kill his enemies wheke because it was eating to much kaimoana and killing all the fish and making it hard for people to leave and get kaimoana. He also killed the wheke in the name of war. Kupe actually named the hokianga harbour te puna o te ao marama. There is a story that people told about kohukohu , that kupe actually cursed the town and the people in it because he was served cooled food so being impatient and greedy he started yelling at everyone and cursing them all just because the food was cold. When kupe first stepped on the land of aotearoa as he was exploring he found that his footsteps were turning into stone behind him. Many places that are in aotearoa kupe actually named even though some of them are changed now a days kupe and his wife hine te aparangi were the ones who actually gave aotearoa their name

Refugee simulator
That is it - refugee simulator is about how we have 8 minutes to pack 2 suitcases with fifteen nessacary items that could be in your house if you had to pick up and leave immediatley beause of war or bombing oTer more things that could cause a riot and indanger people lives. Along the way you can come across people who will try steal and trade with you just so you could keep your own life
How did it make you feel - It made me feel kind of secure in new zealand knowing those things dont really happen in new zealand but also the realisation that many people go through ths very often which is so sad just to think about and i coudn't imagie going through that.
What did you learn - I learnt that people have to make life threatining decisions that will determine wether you live or die and that refugees go through so much ecause of dumb decisions people make
Here is on of the many refugee blogs in the world all you have to do is copy this link https://www.refugeesinternational.org/reports/2017/9/27/resettlement?rq=refugee
