Writing our own Māui Legends






 A wet week is a great time to explore an interest in detail.  We've been having a lot of discussions about the notion of Māui ( who we know well here at Northland Kindergarten) and how he can be seen  in a movie lots of friends have enjoyed ( Moana). We've been noticing that the tattoos on the Māui in the movie shows pictures of  Māui stories we know  in action ( and a few stories we don't as yet). We've been in a flurry of drawing and writing and re reading the legends, researching and book making as we revisit the legends, Some of us are sharing our work at mat time!
