Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

The story Ngā Maunga Tohorā by Vincent Olsen Reeder and Hinemarie Burion is about the legend of the mountains that are sacred to Ngā Pōtiki. To modify this activity, the story can be changed, but the concept of using Scratch Jnr to code a retell is still the same.
