Te Reo Maori and Art Collaboration

Image
As part of our Te Reo Maori this term, we will be looking at the traditional myths and legends from the Maori culture. We began with 'The Fish of Maui'. We thought it would be a great idea to work collaboratively to create a 'shared book' of this myth. These photos show us working together on the sketching of a scene from the story. When this is complete, we will vivid our sketches and use dye to add colour. We will then publish our section of the myth and display in the classroom. I can't wait to see the final product!

We then identified coordinates for those 'lands'. Each land was designated a certain amount of points. Our goal was to create a path and collect as many points as we could in a certain amount of moves. Once our map and path was completed we got to swap it with a buddy and challenge them to beat their score. These photos below show us working together on our maps.
