Animation: Te Ika a Maaui

Here is one student's work using the animation skills we are learning from Miss Knock during our digital learning time. We read The Fish of Maui and studied te reo Māori within the story. We also discussed the illustrations, highlighting the use of warm and cool colours to create a striking contrast. We understood that the artist had used plants and shapes unique to Aotearoa so that the reader could clearly identify the setting of the story.
