To this day, the people of New Zealand still use waka. Instead of using their waka to transport them from one place to another, they sometimes use waka in special events and in sporting competitions such as Waka Ama. Both boys and girls compete in Waka Ama boat races.
Watch this short video of a Waka Ama race. On your blog tell us whether you would like to be in a Waka Ama race one day. Why or why not?
I watched the video of the Waka Ama Race Day and it looks fun and awesome I wish I could race in the waka ama race. I can't get over how fun and awesome it looks. All the racers were SUPER fast. Number 1 came second they were the second fastest but number 2 was the winner. I hope one day I get to be in a race like the waka ama race.
Jumbo Jahrey,
ReplyDeleteWow, it seems like you’re pretty excited about the prospect of Waka Ama racing. I like how you showed you were very passionate about why you wanted to take part in a Waka Ama race .
Maybe next time you add some detail about why you think Waka Ama is awesome. Waka Ama reminds me of when I go swimming at the beach with family and friends. It’s always fun because we get to see the beautiful sky clearly together and we also swim and float really well in the salty sparkling water. Why do you think Waka Ama racing is fun and awesome?
Another great post Jahrey!
Toe feiloa’i fo’i,
