Today at reading, we read a story named Kehu, hero of early New Zealand, and then we answered the questions below. From reading this story, I learnt about things that took place a long time ago, and how it affected the native people of New Zealand (the Maori people)
What food did people eat in early New Zealand?
They usually ate birds, fish and berries.
What clothing did they use for the cold?
They made sandals made out of flax. It doesn’t say what they used for clothes, but they used tahawai bark to make a shelter.
What was the weather like when Kehu and their travel party were travelling?
In their first location, it was raining.
What year is the story set in?
The story was set in 1847
What was New Zealand like at that time?
New Zealand was very different, and there was a lot of bush areas.
What are the two most important things for a bushman to know?
The two most important things for a bushman to know are how to walk long distances on foot carrying heavy loads, and how to find food in dense areas of the South Island.
