Maui and the fish

This week for Inquiry we have started learning about Maori myths and legends. 

The first one we learnt about was Maui and the fish, which is where New Zealand came from (or so the myth goes...)

First we watched this clip - 

First we talked about who was in the story and what happened...

Then the next day we watched it again and had a more in-depth brainstorm and discussion. 

As we watched it again, we paused it and talked about what had just happened.

All the words in red are words we used to describe what we saw, then later we tried to use these in our writing. 

Here are some students writing - 

Vaimoana

Tisharn

Dyzon
