Maui pulled up New Zealand with
the jawbone. The brothers turned into
stone, and then they turned into mountains.
By Brendan
Maui went out to catch New
Zealand. He caught New Zealand and he stood on New Zealand. He got stuck on a
rock. He got frozen. He made the sun go slowly because the sun boomed.

Rangi and Papa were too close
together. The children tried to push them apart. They didn’t want them to be
apart because they loved each other. The children did move them apart. Then
Papa cried because she wanted to be with her true love.

Rangi the sky father and Papa the
earth mother were too close together so their kids pushed them apart. Maui and
his brothers went out to sea. Maui got out his magic jawbone from his
grandmother. He put it on his fishing rod and cast it into the water. He caught
a humungous fish. When Maui stepped on it, it became land with trees and grass
and hill and beaches with sand.

Once upon a time four boys went
in a canoe far far far away to the sea. Then they picked up New Zealand. Then
they turned into stone.
By Luke
Maui got the north Island then he
stepped on the North Island. Then all the trees and grass grew straight away.

Rangi and Papa were too close
together so their children tried to push them apart. They managed to. Maui told
his brothers to take him out fishing. Maui fished up New Zealand. His brothers
went out. They got stuck on a rock for a very long time so they turned into
stone. So they remain to this day as a very high mountain. The highest mountain
was standing.

Rangi and Papa lived together.
The children tried to push them away. Rangi is the sky and Papa is the earth
mother. Maui stole a jawbone from his grandmother and used it as a fishing rod.
He caught a big fish and made New Zealand. He made the North Island then he
made the South Island. The fish looked like a big stingray. When he got off the
boat it got trees.

The Earth mother and Rangi were
too close together so the children pushed them. Maui and his brothers went out.
He got his jaw. He threw it in the sea. He brought up New Zealand. They got
stuck on a rock. They climbed on to the boat and they turned to stone.
By Jessica
Rangi and Papa were too close
together. The children pushed them. They didn’t want to break. They loved each
other. There was a magic jawbone. Maui used it for a hook. He caught a big, big
fish that was the North Island of New Zealand. When he stepped on it the trees
grew and the bushes flowered. There was a city. It was Auckland.
By Ava
