New Zealand's Sacred Mountains

Today we are reading a text called new Zealand sacred mountains but before we started we had to write three questions that we want to know. after that we read the story and learned a legend about the mountains being gods and warriors and fighting over a girl and in anger mt Taranaki moved digging up the ground that is now a river. here is a link to the story New Zealand's sacred Mountains

My three questions about sacred mountains 
what are the mountains called?
where are the mountains placed?
what is so special about the mountains?

What I learnt from New Zealand sacred mountains 
The mountains are sleeping volcanoes 
the mountains were once believed as gods and warriors
I found out that the mountains moved long ago 



Battle of the mountains 

Today we are reading battle of the mountains and we had to find the similarity's between the two story's battle of the mountains and new Zealand sacred mountains,here is a link to the battle of the mountains.

Similarity's  between the story's 

If you read both text you see that they are both fighting over pihanga
In both story's the mountains move away

  1. What a great introduction Lucy. I can't wait to hear about the story Battle of the Mountains. I enjoyed how the author chose precise words to help them paint a picture of what Pahinga looked like. What did you enjoy about the story?
