Maori Language Week: The Story of Creation

Kia ora and welcome to Maori Language Week! For our Maori Activity we had to find one Maori Legend and our Maori Legend is the Story of Creation. Also known as how Ranginui and Papatuanuku got seperated.  Rangi and Papa got separated from their children. Their children were Tu, Tane, Tawhirir, Tangaroa , Rongo and Haumia. So then after that we had to illustrate a picture of the story, to explain the story. Our whole group worked together. Then we found a Maori song to sing, and that song was Aoteroea by Stan Walker. They seperated their parents because they wanted to see light and to see what the world was like.
