The Taniwha of Rakaia Gorge

(Late Blog Post) A Few weeks ago we did some drawing about a book called "The Taniwha Of Rakaia Gorge" We had to do different Maori symbols on a piece of paper to tell the story. I'm not sure what any of the symbols mean but I just did the symbols I know. We also made a Diamante poem. A Diamante Poem is a poem with seven lines in the shape of a diamond. The first line is the subject you are doing your poem about, the second line is two describing words about the subject, the third line is three Verbs or Do-ing words but the words have to have "Ing" at the end, the fourth line is a two words about the subject and then two words about the opposite. then it basically reverses, three doing words, two describing words, etc. here is my diamante poem. Feel free to comment!

Diamante Poem

Taniwha.

Strong, Brave.

Building, Swimming, Tidying.

Building the dam Breaking.

Blowing, Breaking, Moving.

Strong, Mean.
