Schools back and it's already week 5! I have the best teachers: Koka Rozie, Koka Ngaire and Koka Pip. These weeks have been so much fun! Our first day was on a Tuesday because Monday was Waitangi day. We have been walking our Pepeha, doing heaps of art and quickwrites. I even get to do year 6 surfing every Friday!
On the second week of school, the whole school walked to Hamanatua stream as a part of our Pepeha. It was a beautiful day, so me and my friends played in the sand and had so much fun. We walked down the beach on the way back.
The next day Moana syndicate walked up our maunga, Maungaroa. We had morning tea and brain break up the maunga. Koka Rozie told us about the Ngati Oneone tribe that swam out behind Maungaroa to catch sharks for kai. The bravest people would cut a bit of their body just enough for blood to seep out. Then they would wade out and wait for the sharks to come and catch them.
In week four we went to visit Te Poho o Rawiri Marae, but I was sick so sadly I didn't go. These things have been so much fun and I can't wait for more fun activities throughout the year.

ReplyDeleteI like how you used lots of punctuation,expression and time connectives in your story. It reminds me of the stories that we were told by Koka Rozie and Aunty Baba. Do you remember when Keylane forgot her shoeS
