We are learning to retell a Maori Legend and do an art respose to it.
The Legend Of Matangi
Once upon a time Matangi
went to live in the forest in Manawatu.
There was lots of food to eat so he invited his family to visit him.
But people started to disappear.
Matangi and some warriors went to the swamp.
They saw an evil, mean Taniwha in the water.
He had blue scales, a big red scary horn, six legs and sharp spines down his back.
They fought the Taniwha for a whole day. They caught him with a big magic net
and made him open his mouth. All the people he had eaten came out of his mouth.
They said, “Ooooh, it was stinky in there!” They killed the Taniwha and now the swamp
is safe. The place is called Himatangi.
