What is the significance in the 21st Century of our Cultural stories?
First we brainstormed what culture is and came up with lots of ideas.
Culture is your family history and traditions that you share with your love ones and where your from.
Then we thought about our own culture and talked to our parents about our traditions and heritage. I wrote a post about my family and things we like to do.
In Literacy we read and discussed myths and legends from around the world then we concentrated on Maori legends. I read Maui and the Big Fish. I retold the Legend of Maui and the Sun.
We made a performance about the story Battle of the Mountains. Some students wrote the script, some students took on the job of making all the artwork, some worked hard on organising the music and others took on the role of bringing the story alive with dance and drama.
I helped with doing the music and sound affects.
I think the show might impact on others by they can learn about what they can see like the Battle of the Mountains.
What I learned about working with others was that everyone can play different instruments and they can play at different speeds.
