Dancing with Mythology
On Tuesday the 5th of April Room 16 went to Vodafone Events Centre to learn about Maori language, Maori myths and to dance. When we got there we sat on the floor and listened to the stories about Pou Kapua.
Gabby told us about Ranginui and Papatuanuku. She said that Ranginui and Papatuanuku had seventy boys.Ranginui and Papatunuku hugged each other and there was no light between them. Their seventy kids were between them and they were so squashed that they wanted to separate them. Tangaroa tried first but he couldn't do it. Then Tane Mahutu tried and he separated them.
After all the talking we played a game. The game was to flex our bodies to make an animal or a boat. We formed into groups. Our group started first. Our group did an animal. The animal was an ant. We tried to form an ant but it looked like a nest. But someone guessed it. I was glad because my back hurt!
Now it was the next groups turn. Their group did a falling tree. The other group did the waka (the boat). The last group did Rata looking at the beautiful tree.
