Exploring Maori Myths and Legends


Fraidoon and I have made a comic strip using Storyboard That to practise using dialogue to explain what is happening in the choice of scene. Fraidoon and I decided to choose the last scene from 'How Maui Slowed The Sun.' The most challenging thing to overcome was finding characters that looked Maori. The way we overcame this was by editing the skin colour, eye colour, hair colour, and most important the characters clothing. I found the clothing the most important thing because in the period of time Maui existed they did not wear modern clothes.

Legend Of The Seven Stars



This week a Maori celebration is being acknowledged by some New Zealanders. The celebration is Matariki. To celebrate Matariki we have completed an inquiry all about it. The DLO above is our second piece of work. Our DLO helps how Matariki came to be in a simple way. This is just one of the beliefs of how Matariki was brought to the world. Whaea is a Maori word which means mum or mother.
