Stories for Matariki

Each class in the school was asked to retell a Māori legend and create a book.  Team 21 worked in groups, each group retelling and illustrating a different legend.  We had to cooperate, negotiate, stay focused, and discover new talents as we completed our stories.

POD Dance - Bollywood Style

The evil Mr Nasty stole 5 diamonds from the good Sweet family.  The family held a dance competition to distract Mr Nasty while they took the diamonds back.

This is our take on the dance.

POD Dance - Rona and the Moon

Our POD group - Room 2, Team 21 and Ruma 25 - split into 3 mixed groups to create dances that tell stories.  The students who were will Mrs Sigley created a dance to the Māori legend of 'Rona and the Moon'.  Can you see the story they told?

Rona and the Moon

In our POD and class groups we have produced a variety of art, dance and writing based on the Maori legend of 'Rona and the Moon'.

Room 2 have come to know the story well and enjoyed creating a Shared Book of the story, each taking turns to be the illustrator.
