Term 3 Reflection Making The Taniwha

Last week room 8 started to draw taniwha's upside down. Mrs Hood told us to turn the white paper around. When room 8 finished the taniwha we all had to turn the paper the right way up  and when we all did  the picture looked like a taniwha that goes on the side front or the back of a Marae. Taniwhas's are brown  with oyster shells for their eyes. Most of the taniwha's around New Zealand  poke their tongues out and their eyes have to be really really big. Do you know what happens to a Taniwha to make it look like one? Well Taniwha's get carved with koru's, Maori pattern's and anything you want to carve on them. My brother Judah use to carve keys for a birthday gift. My brother always use to do that for me. He carved my mum a key and he carved my dad a Taniwha.
Here is a picture of my Taniwha.
