Reindeer-word search

This week we have been solving a word search about all of Santa's reindeer's. I found it interesting because I like doing word search's and I like Santa's reindeer's.

Here is an example about my writing about my word search.

Reindeer-word search

Today we have been doing a word search about the names of Santa's reindeers. I solved the words by looking for the first two letters in the names of the reindeer, also I solved it by looking up and down on the words in line and side to side. I also looked for the last letter of the reindeer’s name, if that didn’t work then I would look for the letter in the middle and look for the letters on the side of the letter. Some of the words were tricky.

how Maui fished up the north Island

This week we have been reading a legend about Maui and how he fished up the NORTH ISLAND! With his magic hook from his ancestor Murirangawhenua. Maui’s brothers didn’t let him go fishing with him  because they said he was skinny. One day Maui hid himself in the canoe that his brother’s were going to fish in. the next day when Maui’s brothers where in the sea Maui jumped up from where he was hiding, Maui’s brothers were saying “ what are you doing here“, Maui said he hid in the boat because he wanted to fish with them. After that maui asked for bait but they didn’t give some bait so he just punched his nose and used the blood for bait, he put the blood on to his magic fish hook. When Maui threw his magic fish hook into the water then something pulled hard, The canoe was tilting, Maui’s brothers were holding tight to the side of the canoe, Maui was pulling with all the power inside of him. Maui finally pulled up the north Island, Maui told his brothers that he was going to get the rest of the people, when Maui was gone then his brothers started cutting when they were chopping they chopped mountains.

hungry reindeer

This week we have been writing a persuasion about a reindeer. I found it interesting because we had to write if the reindeer needs food or not.

Here is an example of a persuasion about a reindeer.

                     hungry reindeer
Reindeer's should get food  because they need some energy to carry Santa clause everywhere.

The first reason reindeer's should have food is they work a lot, carry Santa and he is heavy and the presents are extra weight. They work to give presents to people. When they carry Santa in the sleigh he’s going to get more heavy because he’s going to keep on eating cookies and drinking milk. 

The second reason is them getting hungry because they get tired from carrying Santa clause from house to house to house. They get hungry for their favourite food…….CARROT. 


The third reason is what Santa clause gets’ Santa clause gets some food for himself to eat, Also he should share it with the reindeer because they work a lot.
