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 clothing, food, where you come from and traditions and your background.
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 how Maui caught the giant fish .
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.

Reflection:
For our production I contributed by doing some art and a sign for Lake Taupo. I was also part of the chorus which meant that I had to sing and do some actions.
I think the show might impact on others by having more actions and and every one joining in.
What I learned about working with others was helping others.
