Kereru and Magic Jawbone
This week for reading we are learning to apply knowledge. I made a statue of a Kereru and a Magic Jawbone from a Maui book we read. It was about how Maui found his Mum but wanted to see his Dad who his Mum goes to everyday without Maui. So Maui went with her and saw her going down a deep hole so he flew down as a Kereru. He saw his Dad in the hole. He saw his Great Grandad too. Maui bring food to him everyday until he wanted his Great Grandads Magic Jawbone and hid his food until he gave it to him. Maui's Great Grandad gave it to himn and that is what he pulled NZ out of the water with. I enjoyed listening to the story because it was a really cool story. I found it tricky to make the statues because they turned out huge! Here is my slide:

Kia Ora Kylah
ReplyDeleteThis is some great work. One of my favorite things to read and learn about is Māori myths and legends. Building the kereru and the magic jaw bone would have been very tricky but you have done a really good job. Do you know the Māori names for the North and South islands? The jaw bone definitely would have been a challenge to create. It's been nice visiting your blog today, keep up this great online learning. I look forward to visiting your blog again soon

Hola Kylah,
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see your Lockdown learning on your blog.
I enjoy reading Maui stories too.
Your Minecraft creations are incredible. Why do you think they turned out so large?
Mā te wā,
