HAKA
Once there was a strong, fierce, brave and smart chief named Te Rauparaha. He was a great warrior and had many enemies. Also he was feared by many other tribes. Then one day he decided to go look for reinforcements because his men weren’t enough to help him so he went to lake Rotoaira and asked their chief Te wharerangi. Then Te Rauparaha found out that his enemies tohunga was using magic to find him.
The chief, Te Wharerangi told him to hide in the potato pit. In the bottom of the pit it was pitch black and a wahine called Te Rangikoea had so much mana that she weakened the magic. Te Rauparaha pressed his ear against the wall and the voices and the footsteps of his enemies Then muttered to himself, “Will I die? Will I die? Will I live? Will I live?” Then he heard the footsteps and voices getting fainter and fainter until all you could hear was birds singing. Then he exclaimed, “ Onwards the sun shall shine on me again!” When he got home he told the story to his tribe and his tribe turned it into a Haka and that is how it was repeated for generations and that’s how we know it today!
Whiti te ra!

Narrative writing
22 September 2021
WALT: Express myself in Narrative Writing
Hello, today I am going to write about a story called Lost in the jungle. Richard is a great rage quitter and a bus driver. Jacob is overpowered but he kind of has to hide it from the public. Tubby is an ice and fire Dragon and they all have blue eyes except for Richard he has brown skin and eyes. Jacob has blue eyes and white skin. Tubby has icy blue eyes and scales with a bit of red.
Once on a sunny day in Africa a boy called Jacob and his Dragon, Tubby were on a bus but what was annoying about the bus driver Tubby and Jacob weren't allowed to move or talk because their bus driver, Richard, is always enraged. Then in about five minutes a giant storm started raging down with thunder and lightning lightening the sky with danger. The thunder and lightning was as frightening as being chased by a bull with a sword in its mouth. Richard, Jacob and Tubby were so distracted that they didn't even know that they were heading straight for a cliff! BOOM CRASH SMASH!!! They had made it the bottom and Richard started screaming, “You stupid, stupid thing! I hate you Jungle!” “Don’t say that.” Replied Jacob. “Let's call the search and rescue and fast because I see a pack of wolves!” suggested Tubby, “Ok!” Replied Jacob. In about three seconds after Jacob finished calling the Search and rescue team the wolves spotted them! Luckily they were able to hold them off until the search and rescue team came which took at least five hours so Jacob, Tubby and Richard were stuck in a tree for a whole five hours! After the storm had passed Richard complained, “Now the storm stop’s?”
When they got back home they thought to themselves, “I am never ever going back there. Meanwhile those wolves became vegetarians so they were much happier for now on. Somehow all three of them ended up stuck in a building because all the doors were stuck and terroristes were everywhere!
