Our Taniwha Puzzle - It's Big!!





As a conclusion to our study on water and in conjunction with Maori language week we made a jigsaw out of a taniwha.

Mrs Emerson made the jigsaw and gave us each a piece of the puzzle to colour in with pastels. We made sure we used hot and cold colours and we were careful to completely cover our puzzle piece with pastel.

The taniwha has webbed feet and it has spikes on his back and Maori tattoos. When he was asleep he was in a pond.
