Hatters Gold

This week in a school journal we had to read a story called Hatters Gold.

It was about a boy back in the 1800's and his father went gold mining, but then he came home early because the miners were taking strike for 3 months, although the mother was not that happy about it because she was thinking they would soon be poor because of the father would not be getting paid.

For one of the activity's we had to make a poster of getting gold mining back to Cromwell.

It was quite easy.

I hope you like it.

Bulmer Cavern

This week we had to read a school journal and answer some questions one them we had to do was making a poster to get people to go caving.
I decided to use google drawing.
At first I did not know how to put it into a poster shape so I asked a friend and we fiddled around with it.
I hope you like it.

Maui And The Maori Princess

Maui And The Maori Princess

A long, long time ago before the English came to Aotearoa there was  a man called Maui,
he was the youngest out of all his brothers,
which he
found a real pain.

One day, his brothers were extra annoying to him, they were all saying, you can not come
fishing with us, mum doesn't like you,
we all wish you
were not alive but Maui knew they were all lying and just jealous of him that he is mums
favourite and he was
the best at fishing.

So he decided to go to his favourite place, the place where his brothers would not annoy
him, it was
the cave.

When he arrived, there was a beautiful Maori girl, that had wavy black hair and a lovely
fern dress.

Maui went over to her to say “hi” but she just came back with: “what do want?”

Leave me alone I am trying to make a present for my dad, the king, so shoo.

Maui left right away feeling very sad.

That night he could not get to sleep he kept thinking about what the girl was making for
her dad.

The next day he went back to the cave where he found the girl again sitting there.

“What are you making for your dad?” Asked Maui.

“I am trying to make something out of the ordinary which I am calling stars.” Replied the girl.

“What are stars?” Questioned Maui.

“Stars are little speckle up in the sky the glow at night.” Said the girl.

“Do you need help?” Offered Maui.

“Yes I would love a bit of help.” Replied the girl.

“I know just the person to that will us.” Answered Maui.

That afternoon Maui lead the girl to Ranginui the father of the sky which he would help
them to
create the stars.

When they got there Ranginui was having a cup of tea.

“Hi Ranginui.” Said Maui.

“Hello there Maui, why are you here?”

“I am helping this girl to create these things called stars, stars are these speckles in
the sky which glow
at night, could you
make them for her because she is making them for her dad, please?”

“Okay, over here is a speckle give this to your dad, when he gets it he will throw it
up into the sky and I
will catch it
and make it glow.”

“Thankyou!” replied Maui and the girl.

So that night the girl did exactly that, she threw the star up into the sky,
when her dad saw it he
felt so special that he
almost was sick.

Now that is how the stars were made!!
