How the south island was made

A couple of weeks ago me and my group Kyle, Cadie,Tyler, Freyja and me made these slides of how the south island was made for inquiry. We had to record our voices while the rest does the sounds we chose to do on that slide. 

These are the people who recorded there voices

  1. Kyle 
  2. Me/ Jahnaleigh
  3. Freyja
  4. Jahnaleigh
  5. Me/ Jahnaleigh
We used the online voice recording for this and the first up was the one and only Kyle he did the introducing of the slide and told the title. Second was me Jahnaleigh and i was talking about the characters in the story. Then third was my friend Freyja and she was saying how the wife of one of the characters was heartbroken. Then fourth was me again and i was saying that they performed the karakia incorrectly. Then last it was me again and i was saying that they freezed to death and that was how to create the south island.

Now im spilling to much tea.
Here it is!

Retelling a legend

 Hello my readers

So today i did a retell about a story of how the south island was made.

Here you go.


First rangi (sky farther) had married Pokoharua-te-po.Then later on they had four children.Their names were Aoraki (The eldest son) ,Rakiroa,Rakirua and Rarakiroa.The all had simular names instead of Aoraki.So then they found out that rangi their farther had fallen in love with Papatuanuku (Earth mother).


Before their farther rangi left to see the earth mother.The four sons jumped into the waka Te waka o Aoraki.And then they said a karakia to go back down to earth and see what and why Rangi was intrested in her instead of their mother.


As they were seing why Rangi their farther didnt like their mother they were more intrested to find land.But there was mostly sea to look at.As they were looking for land they found that a storm was forming.They thought it was their farther telling them to come back home.


So then the eldest son Aoraki said a karakia to make the storm ease and the waka to go back into the heavens.While the other younger brothers was shocked and scared.Their older brother got the karakia wrong and made a mistake.


Instead of rising the were sinking and Te waka o Aoraki had fliped over.So the sons swam on top and it seemed that the western side was much higher than the eastern.So the brothers had to huddle and lean on one side.As they were doing this their hair turned white.And soon they had turn to stone.


Then the brothers turned into mountains and made the southern alps. And the waka turned into the south island.
