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.

THERE’S BREAKING NEWS ABOUT SANTA IN NEW ZEALAND!! And it is about santa’s reindeer wanting some carrots to eat, IT’S NOT FAKE BECAUSE IT’S BREAKING NEWS. Santa and his reindeer were going around in houses to put the amazing presents under the christmas trees. Santa’s reindeer was hungry for some carrot’s, he wasn't talking like a human but santa knew that he wanted some carrot’s because that’s his reindeer. Santa kept on going to different houses to give different present’s, one of the houses he went in and ate a kind of donut. Santa must be so fat because he eats a lot of cookies and other stuff. When they were going around santa saw McDonalds so he went inside and asked them if he could get a bag of carrot’s, they said yes. When santa came with the bag of carrot’s then he said merry Christmas.

Once upon a time I was walking through the whole city of El dorado and looking if they were ok, the kids were rushing to their parents and told them” The golden man”, the parents came out of their houses and started cheering. As I was going back to my golden kingdom. It was dark, me and my soldiers heard people talking, we knew it was the spanish people, I sent two warriors to see what are they doing, as they came back they told me they were making a plan to hurt us. After they told me that then I told them to go tell my people to come and gather in my golden kingdom, all of the people were In the golden kingdom, I told my warriors to make a trap, my warriors showed me the trap it was good enough, when the spanish people entered it was just two men, I was up on a tree covered in green dust so I was camouflage, when they took a few more steps I quickly threw the trap on them, then I got down with my warriors and said” where's the rest of you” they said the rest is coming back the next day, we made them disappear into the deep jungle. In the morning I went to get some food with my warriors for the whole entire city, when we came back with the food, the whole city came and ate, The spanish people didn’t come that day,so at night I went to kill a big jaguar as I came back, I used the jaguar skin for a nice blanket, days passed and they still did not come to attack, one day my soldiers went to get water, They came Running back  with scratches everywhere,Then said to me” The spanish people are back” as we were still talking we heard footsteps outside of my golden kingdom. It was getting closer and closer, when they it was just one person coming to check what's happening in the city. When he went back I told all of my toughest warriors to get ready for war, when the warriors lined up the british heard there footsteps and attacked my warriors. The war went on for a long time. The war ended at midnight, WE WON THE WAR , only 18 of my warriors died but all of the british people died. The next day we had a big party. Then the rest of the days were normal.
