I think that I agree with you in thinking that the Taniwha comes from a maori myth and legend. I have read about them many times in books. I think it is a bit like the Loch Ness monster! Have you heard of it? It supposedly lives in a loch (lake) in Scotland. And although no one has every really seen it they have photos of a shadow of something on the loch. And then I believe like the Taniwha is comes down to myth and legend. There would be stories carried down in both cultures about this monster/beast that lives in the water. I am sure we could find some cool myths in the library as school and we could learn a bit more about it.
I hope your holidays are going well and you and Aimee are having fun. Won't be long and school will be back!
