Today my mum went on a double Decker bus from Gisborne to Auckland. I am  happy because she is getting a new car. We had some pies for breakfast. My auntie and uncle came with me to have breakfast. By Fairlane

Author: Phoenyx    Illustrator: Swyft 

I made a dinosaur at school and I built it on my own. I was happy and I liked my
dinosaur. And I made the claws and I made the head. I made the tail and I
made the spikes. I made the mouth all by myself.

Matariki stories

Last week we started looking at different Myths and Legends about Matariki. We had a go at retelling the stories in our own words. Here are a few of our stories...

Maui Slowed down the Sun. Tama - nui-te- ra, the sun, was angry and went to hide. Without the sun it got cold. It was winter. The people missed the sun. Matariki sang songs and brought back the sun. Everyone was happy. Matariki is a time when we remember and celebrate. By Swyft

Maui and his  brothers slowed Tama nui te ra .The sun was hurt and hid away. It was cold and all the people were sad. Matariki and her sisters sang songs and brought Tama nui te ra back. By Waiariki
