Maui Legends

As part of Matariki we re-read the legends of Maui. We then retold a legend and created artwork. Below is my work.

Once upon a time there was Maui and his three brothers Alex, Eamon and Callan and a wise old man called Chi Fu. Maui and his brothers decided to go to the sun and slow it down because it was going too fast. Maui, his brothers and the wise old man Chi Fu went through the deepest darkest woods and the sandiest deserts with cracks in the ground which lead to the biggest deserts in New Zealand. They found  
the sun’s hiding place and they hid behind some rocks. Then after the sun came out of the hole they jumped out from behind the rocks and threw ropes at the sun and the ropes got stuck in the sun’s hair and Maui hit the sun with his magical jaw bone. After a lot of hitting the sun the sun finally agreed to slow down. The End

  1. Kia ora Eamon. Well done for working with Alex and Callan to complete this project. I enjoyed reading your retelling of this story. I liked the link, '...the deepest darkest woods.." as this captured my imagination as a reader. The artwork you did is beautiful. I like how colourful it is and the harakeke ropes that you glued on. Ka pai tō mahi!
