Tāwhirimātea – god of the weather

Tāwhirimātea








 Watch the video above and complete the following tasks.

1) Find and write down the sentence in English that that uses the words ki runga, ki raro. For an extra challenge try and write the sentence down in Māori by listening to the words.

2) What does Ngā mata o te ariki, o te Ariki mean in English?

3) Write a story explaining what the video was about. Consider the following questions.

  • Who is the story about?
  • What was the main character angry about?
  • How do we know the main character is angry?
  • What did the other gods want to do about Ranginui and Papatūānuku?
  • What does the main character have to do with the story of Matariki?
4) Attempt drawing Tāwhirimātea, whether its a physical picture of him or a representation of what he is. E.g. the different elements of weather. What it looks like when Tāwhirimātea is upset/angry.
