We have spent all week learning the Maori legend "Maui and the Fish". We re-told the story...
One day Maui went fishing. He
threw his hook in to the sea. His hook was a jaw bone. He waited and he waited
for a very long time. He was very hungry. Suddenly his rope went in the water
and he pulled it up and he caught a stingray!
The stingray turned into the North Island of New Zealand. This is
why the North Island is called Te Ika-a-Maui (‘The Fish of Maui’).
