Task Description: Room 1 did a last rotation for the Myths and we learned about the Table Mountain in South Africa, We also had to learn some words to understand more of the story of the characters because they have hard names.
What I have learnt is that The Xhosa is a tribe who mainly live in the eastern cape. Djobela is the earth Goddess. The sun God is Tixo,Qamata created the earth but however the Great dragon was Jealous so they had a fight . Among this the giants appeared there was one who the strongest and the biggest . They had failed to fight the Great Dragon had killed of them. Qamata was injured he didn't want tell his Mother because he knew he was going to get in trouble. Later , The strongest Giant said to Qamata to make him a mountain.
So nowadays the mountain in South Africa in the city or town called cape town. That is where the giants were laid.
Kia ora Leah,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your learning about the story of Table Mountain from the Xhosa people in South Africa. There was a lot of violence and chaos in this story! The giant that became Table Mountain must have been massive - you can see in your picture that it the major landmark in Cape Town.
