Maui legends

As part of Matariki we re- read the legends of Maui. We then retold a legend and created artwork. Below is my work. 

Jennae: How Maui Slowed The Sun

Maui and his four brothers had no time to do their crops or to do their garden, or even when they have done their hard work they didn’t even have time to play. Maui wanted to do something about it because the sun was just going too fast. Maui and his four brothers made a plan to try and slow down the sun. Maui and his brothers decided to make magical platted ropes to capture the sun and make it slow down. Maui and his brothers had set off to find the sun at night, paddling for miles. When they got to where the sun was  it  was coming out of its hiding place. When it had arose more out of his hiding place Maui and his four brothers threw the ropes over the sun and pulled it down. Maui had caught  the sun and slowed the sun down. The sun had agreed with Maui to slow down.
