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 all about your country, lifestyle and traditions. 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 Maui and the Sun and Battle of the Mountains which were very simple but pleasant stories.
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 playing music and also stage effects
I think the show might impact on others by parents being wowed and proud, kids learning a thing or two. It may also inspire others to do the same.
What I learned about working with others was you have to play your part. You can’t just let everybody do the work and give it a go, also you can’t be doing all the work! You have to encourage others to get their fair share.
