Maori Poster- Paikea

LI: Create a maori poster with the theme of Paikea

This week for Maori We learnt about Paikea and we had to make a poster around Paikea. This is my poster and the Heading under the title "Paikea" Is a Link saying "Story Of Paikea" And when you click that link It will take you to a site to tell you about the Paikea Story and how it began.

Paikea is similar to 'The Whale Rider' Because of the girl and the whale. My poster includes Paikea the whale, The sun, and the Ocean/ Paikea's Territory. In Maori we Learnt about the story 'Clay Woman' that turned into a real woman by a 'Sneeze of Life'. In the story Clay Woman;

 (Summary) Tane wandered his Island knowing something was missing, And as he opened his eyes to a sight never seen before, was a woman of clay. He sat and waited for something to happen, but nothing did. He walked up to the clay woman and let a great big sigh. Within' seconds the figure sprung to life and wandered into the forest. Tane was amazed at this sight and followed. The next day, Tane awoke to a wonderful voice, and saw Hineahuone beneath the trees with creatures all around. "Is this the woman?" Tane thought. "The missing thing in my life?"
