Our Jellyfish Encounter: Stewart Island. Y6 Camp
We spent days fishing at the wharf. At one point we saw this jellyfish and a shark. Most of the time was spent catching fish and learning to unhook our lines before re-baiting our lines. Oh! the good lines.

Mihimihi
I am learning to understand what a mihimihi is as I learn to construct my own.
What is a Mihimihi?
Mihimihi are introductory speeches which take place at the beginning of a gathering after the more formal pōwhiri. Mihimihi are generally in te reo Māori and can be given by females and males.
Why is it important to say your mihimih?
Mihimihi establish links with other people present. Mihimihi involve individuals standing to introduce themselves by sharing their whakapapa (genealogy, ancestral ties) and other relevant information. It is important for Māori to know and to share their whakapapa - to know one’s whakapapa is to know one’s identity.
