SSR Week 5

 Picture Books: read at least three picture books from within the classroom. Write a paragraph about  your favourite book. Remember to include the storyline and the illustrations in your response. Out of the three picture books I read this week my favourite one would have to be, How the Kumara Came to Aotearoa, retold by Bea Hamer, because of the art style and how it was a Maori legend. The book talked a lot about Hawaiki which is supposed to be the place where the Polynesians originate from, it was interesting because sometimes they don't mention anything about it in other Maori legends.

He Kakono

WALT: understand some of the important stories to Māori culture and

to our local areas.

Success Criteria: watch the story of ‘Māui’s arrival in Maitahi/Mahitahi’

and discuss as a class what we learnt in this story. 

Flynn and I wrote the paragraphs in this piece of work for He Kākano. We learnt about Māui's journey from this link.
