The creation of the South Island

Kia Ora readers, 

This week we have been reading about some Maori Legends and we had to rewrite them but we cannot change anything important in the story. We are learning how to rewrite Maori Legends so it might be not good but i tried. This one is The creation of the South Island. For me this took a while since there was some distractions but i finally finished it and here it is.

                          

The creation of the South Island

Pouākai is a bird who eats people and his/her nest is at the summit of Mt Torless and they could see below is the flax, toitoi roupo, swamps and the was a forest on the mountain. The rivers below looked like ribbons twisting to the sea and there was a village nearby where Pouākai lived called Pa (village). As villagers went to get their food the villagers never came back and the people started to notice and began to worry the fact that villagers were missing so a brave man called Ruru to was a fast runner wanted to kill Pouākai but he didn´t knew who then and idea came up to his mind and had a plan but he needed some help but some sacrifices might be made but all he wants is the safety of the village.

He chose 40 of the bravest men and to kill Pouākai and told them the plan but they could only do it at night.night began to fall and Poakai was asleep so all of the men reached the mountain and started to build a cage that could fit 40 men and Pouākai. The sun began to rise and Ruru was out of the cage because he was the bait. Pouākai saw Ruru teasing him and started chasing him and Ruru leading him to the cage but he landed on top of the cage. Pouākai tried to get him but he got stuck and the man chopped his legs and his wings as Pouākai was shaking the cage to get out and killed some men, he shook the cage and more and more men got killed. Some were still alive, Ruru was one of them, and the men finished Pouākai with clubs made with wood and now the villagers won't be harmed while getting their food.

Reading

Welcome readers,

Today in reading, my reading group we have been reading about refugee´s ( people who lived in a country that´s in war ) and their life, and the activity we had to do is that we had to make a poster about is to encourage people and families to move to New Zealand on google drawings. It took me about 7 minutes to create. The hard part was when thinking what to write since its a poster that encourages people and I never really wrote something like that and post it on a blog not that I remember as a kid. and why not you try to encourage people to move to New Zealand ?

And here are the results.

Camp 2020

 tena koutou readers,

Sorry for not posting for three hole days its because that me and my class went CAMPING only for 3 days and 2 nights. It was SO FUN!! everybody was so excited when we went on the bus, after 30 minutes on the bus we went to the living springs animal farm and all of us were split in groups 1 to 8 I'm in group four and we were at milking first and I was the first one to milk the Dairy cow named Evie she has one calf that is named Sunny and WOW that was fun.

Now on to camp, after visiting the animal farm we had to take I think 30 minutes of walking cause it was 9 meters we got our luggage, went inside our bunks and unpacked after that we ate afternoon tea and gone straight to activities and so on for the rest of the days but on the first night all of us woke up at 5:00, I was surprised that most of us woke up that early except the other night, we woke up at 8:00 and I didn't notice that there was stinging nettle near the boys cabin window, its a type of dangerous plant and well yea, iy was really fun for that past 3 days I hope that we get to go camping again.

and this is me watching everyone play and looking at the view
