Patupaiarehe and the mountains.

LI:To learn the geography of Aotearoa and to identify what patupaiarehe are.

Mount Maunganui is a mountain in Tauranga. The hunua and Waitakere ranges are mountains in Auckland. Patupaiarehe are fairies that lived on these mountains in maori myths.

I learnt about the patupaiarehe and the mountains by listening to two stories. The legend of Mauoo and The Turehu Wars. I learned where the mountains are by looking on Google Maps.
