Taniwha Trouble

WALT: Evaluate ideas and information in a narrative text.

 The story is about a boy called Noah who was hearing some weird noises from his class room heaters. Noah thought there was a taniwha in the heaters, he went and got the caretaker mr Blackadder. They both found where the taniwha sound was and captured it. Mr Blackadder showed Noah's whole class the taniwha in a jar, it was tiny. Complementary text is about 2 taniwhas who lived in a lake near Wellington harbour who wanted to go out into the ocean, so then they tried to make a huge wave that flooded the land separating the lake and the ocean and they did it, so they now live in the ocean. Challenge text is about a taniwha who lived in wellington harbour and when the taniwha was asleep he slipped over the land freely in the sea.



I was staring at mr Blackadders jar. The water was just so black I couldn’t see anything.

Was I the only student who didn’t see small taniwha in the jar?



  1. Would you have captured the taniwha by yourself? Probably yes.

  2. Do you want to hold the taniwha in your hands? Definitely yes

  5. Do you like any other animals? No
