This term our Kiwi-sport is about Ki-o-rahi. We watched this video to learn the legend..
Main guy - Rahi
Main girl - Te ara puna paki wai
Te ara got taken by Te Puhuru’s tribe. Rahi was furious and he followed them through the forest. The leader of Te Puhuru’s tribe cast of spell over the forest which made it grow thickly so people couldn’t get through it. Rahi made a glider and he flew over the forest. Next they cast another spell which made it reaalllyyy hot. Rahi was saved by an eagle that had water in its beak. He took shelter under a huge rock and he thought he was safe. He was followed by a Taniwha. The Taniwha circled the rock and made a moat but he couldn’t get through. Te Puhuru cast another spell cast yet another spell, making it so cold that Rahi had to come out of their hiding place. He saw 3 stars which represented his dad - his dad cast a spell and an ice bridge came out of the moat so Rahi could escape. Etumai got angry and threw 7 of his ugly claw teeth at Rahi. Rahi went back to his village and got more warriors - they went to the mountains and found Te Puhuru and Te ara in a cave. They rescued Te ara and took her home to their village. They celebrated by eating the Taniwha.
Ki-o-rahi represents the journey of rescuing Te ara.
