For the reading this week I was learning to apply knowledge. Applying knowledge is used for different situations and contexts. First, I watched a video on how Maui found the magical Jawbone. A part of the story is about how Maui finally found his mother Taranga. But two things bothered him. He wondered where his father was and where his mother went during the day. Maui saw his mum leaping into a deep hole. So he flew down as a Kereru in disguise. Then he saw his mother and his dad beneath a tree. Maui fluttered into the branches of the puriri tree. He pulled out berries and dropped it on his dad to attract his attention. Each day Maui brought food to his grandfather. But one day he hid the food from his grandfather because he wanted the magic Jawbone. "Give me your magic Jawbone and I will give you your kai " said Maui. "No!" said his grandfather. So every day Maui give him the food and ask him again and again, until his grandfather finally gave the magic Jawbone to him.
We got to choose to draw the magic Jawbone or the Kereru. I chose to sketch the Jawbone on a piece of paper. I found it fun sketching the magic Jawbone and colouring it. I found it challenging to take a photo because the piece of paper kept on moving. Here is my sketch of the magic Jawbone!
Hola Sophia,
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see your Lockdown learning on your blog.
Your sketch of the magic jawbone is amazing particularly how you have included koru in your design.
Have you read any other Maui stories?
Mā te wā,

Kia ora Sophia,
ReplyDeleteI love these Maui stories. My favourite is how he fished up New Zealand. Have you read that one?
I like your sketch of the jawbone. And yes - it is hard to take a photo on your Chromebook. Some students tell me they ask someone else to hole the paper and then you control the Chromebook camera. Have you got someone at home who can do that with you?
