Summer learning journey - Kowhaiwhai

 Today I was doing the summer learning journey task for today. I learned about Tānerore and Tama-nui-te-ra. Tānerore is the son of Tama-nui-te-ra, You can only see him when it's a really hot day and there is something moving in the distance. That is him, you can also see Tānerore when a group of people is doing kapa haka and their hands are doing the wiriwiri, a hand movement. 

Today's task was to either draw a Kowhaiwhai or do it online using google drawing. I drew mine and coloured it but it doesn't look right with the colours and I used colour pencils to colour it so it doesn't pop. Here is my picture.
