Waves caused by underwater disturbances such as earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions are called tsunamis. These waves are typically tens to hundreds of kilometers long. The gravitational pull of the sun and moon on the earth causes the tides which are actually tidal waves

The Māori lunar calendar is called the Maramataka, which literally means the turning of the moon. It marks the phases of the moon in a lunar month.

Each night, which also typically marks a day, was given a name and over time each day/night was accompanied by information guiding fishing, gardening, and other activities in the natural world.

During a typical lunar month, some days are noted as being favourable for resource harvesting, whereas other days are known to be unfavourable.

The lunar cycle

A typical lunar month cycle lasts for 29.53 days. Each night carries a name according to the Maramataka. For example, Whiro is the first night of the new moon, Tirea is the second night, and so on until Mutuwhenua, the last night.

The cycle starts again with the appearance of the next new moon, with Whiro, Tirea, and so on.

The following names for the days of the lunar month have been taken from the Maramataka of a number of iwi. The differences are only in the sequence of the phases. As many names were similar, the Māori Language Commission decided to use those employed by the majority.

Using the moon to understand nature

The Maramataka below was taken from a 1918 book by ethnologist Elson Best. It was provided to him by Rev. Metara Te Aomarere of Ōtaki, but the calendar itself was credited to Mita Te Tai.

It names the 29.53 nights in the lunar calendar and the symbols next to each night represent how favourable the night was for certain food gathering activities.

For instance, straight lines indicated good nights for line fishing, and black dots for fishing by torchlight. A night such as Whiro, with a dot and a line, was good for both.

A night such as Atua 'is always condemned as unlucky for all forms of food-seeking'.

Do people still use the lunar days today?

Fishing and planting food by the way of the moon, the tides, and the elements is still common today - and so the Maramataka still plays an important part in people's lifestyle.

For example, eel fishing is not productive on the full moon (Rākaunui) because bright moon light would not allow the eel to hunt as its prey could see them. Eels don't have very good eyesight, and generally avoid bright conditions. They tend to hunt and be more active when the conditions favour their sensory systems (smell, vibrations).

Shellfish tend to be more common after a low tide as there's more reef or beach to access with a spring tide - and the tides are controlled by the moon's current phase.

When it comes to planting crops the gravitational pull of the moon is thought by some to influence how much water is in the soil. The amount of light coming from the moon may be another contributing factor. This may be why, according to the Maramataka, there are good and bad days for planting seeds.

1. The wave would break in front of the lighthouse.
2. It wouldn't break the sea wall, because the people would of made the wall so it wouldn't break .
3.  People want to take risks, and people cant imagine the harm.
4. At the beach while i was younger and almost drowned. I would of felt shocked or even scared, mainly cause it was at a young age.

Questions for discussion:
Pause the film on the image above at 1 second.
What is Lily thinking/feeling? How do you know?
How could you show sadness? How could you show anger? etc
​
23 secs: What would she think now? Can we think of any rhetorical questions?

37 secs: How is she feeling now?

Stop the film at 46 secs: How does the director show that time is passing? We see the girl watching the man over and over again.

49 secs: Why is the bench positioned where it is? Do you think the man sits there for a long time or often?

1 min 1 sec: What do you think she has in the envelope?
What would you write to the man on the moon?

1 min 23 secs: Is the girl thinking about the man any more? Why not? (This may be a great point to discuss the fact that it is easy to forget about people who are not there when we are celebrating Christmas.)

Repeat this activity at 1 min 37 secs and discuss happy thoughts.

1 min 52 sec: What do we see? How is the man feeling? Why does he feel like this?

Meet Lily, the heroine of the latest Christmas advert from John Lewis. This year John Lewis have teamed up with Age UK to deliver a tear jerking, heart string pulling story about a little girl who spies a man on the moon through her family telescope. She sees that he is lonely and tries to send him a present in a variety of ways. Will she be successful?
The advert's strap line is 'Show someone they're loved this Christmas'

When you talk about love with young children they often think it means 'boyfriend and girlfriend' You could discuss the strap line 'Show someone they're loved this Christmas' What does this love mean? Does it mean kissing someone? How can you show this? What if it was someone who lives far away?
Children can write letter to someone special detailing why they are so special. Perhaps put it in a Christmas card. e.g. Dear Grandma,
You are special because you do ...... for me etc

Writing opportunities

Rewrite the advert as a 3rd person narrative.

Write the narrative in the 1st person as Lily, then convert to the old man in parts echoing her feelings. e.g. I couldn't believe my eyes, there he was an old man sitting right there on the moon. Sitting on a bench, looking all lonely and staring down at Earth. I couldn't believe my eyes, I looked through the telescope that had floated up to me and I saw a little girl looking back.

Write the story about why the old man is on the moon. - Is he there through choice or was he left behind in the old Lunar missions.

Create a news report with the headline: Astronaut discovered 50 years late.

Write some diary entries for the man on the moon.

Create Christmas cards to send to people in the local old people's home.

Plan and run a charity event to raise money to buy some chocolates for the old People's home.

Mrs Literacy Shed took her class each year to sing to the old people at a local home and they stayed afterwards to chat to the elderly people. Both the residents and the children enjoyed it immensely.
