Writing
Why is the taniwha significant to the Maori people?
Taniwha are supernatural creatures in Māori tradition, similar to serpents and dragons in other
cultures. They were said to hide in the ocean, rivers, lakes or caves. In their role as guardians, the
taniwha made sure that people respected tapu (sacred forces). They made certain that any violations
of tapu were punished. Taniwha were especially dangerous to people from other tribes. There are
many legends of battles with taniwha, both on land and at sea.

ISTEAM
Waka Challenge
“The Great Fleet” of Polynesian settlers set out from Hawaiiki around 1350 in their waka. They relied on the stars for navigation. Legend
states that there were eight great waka travelling to Aotearoa. Our school house groups are named after four of these waka.
Using spare resources from around the house, make a waka (Maori canoe) which floats successfully in a tank of water or a bathtub
and can carry cargo of at least 3 coins. Decorate your waka in the theme of the house you are in at school (Takitimu = Kikorangi, Aotea
= Kakariki, Tainui = Whero, Tokomaru = Kowhai)
Challenge: How many coins can you carry on the waka before it sinks?
