The Seven Brothers of Maungarei

Room 9 has been studying myths and legends.  As part of this study, we have been learning about Pourquoi stories - or 'Why' stories.  This is our class myth about why Maungarei (Mount Wellington) exists.  We used a story map and TOPS to help us organise our story.

Here is the final story!

Why the Owl Stares

Why the Flamingo is Pink

Why the Zebra has Stripes!

Why There Are Clouds

This is another Pourquoi Summary that we created.  Did you know Pourquoi means 'Why?' in French?  It is a story that explains why something is the way it is today.  It is like a myth or a legend.  Enjoy!

Pourquoi Story - Why the Flounder is Flat

This term we are learning about Myths and Legends.  We had to read an existing legend and then summarise it in our own words.  We then had to illustrate our sentences and finally, we put it together in this short film.  Enjoy!
