Summarising the Battle of the Mountains

This week we read the Battle of the Mountains Legend, retold by Annie Rae Te Ake Ake. This story tells about how our maunga, Mt Taranaki, came to be situated here on the west coast of the North Island.

We were learning about summarising. As we read the story, we thought about the most important parts. After we finished reading, we tried to retell the story in 5 main points.

We created our illustrations by reading a story and choosing our favourite part to illustrate.

We are proud of our illustrations because we did a great job of drawing the mountains faces to show how they are feeling.

We hope you like them! 

What is your favourite legend?

    What an awesome job you've done of retelling this legend. I like the way you have put faces on your mountains to show how they are feeling. I love seeing your awesome artwork shared on your blog. Perhaps next time we should add your names as illustrators on the slide where your picture is displayed.

    We liked seeing all your illustration, and we can see you put a lot of eefort into your mountains. We liked all the bright colours you used in drawing your mountains. This was very creative. Thank you for sharing your maunga with use.
    Kind regards,
