Maui and the sun.

How Maui slowed the sun down                              

Once a upon time there lived a man called Maui.The city that Maui lived in the
sun was moving so fast that they didn't have time to go fishing  and time to
hunt.When the sun came up it just raced  across  the sky and the people were
so mad because the days were short night were longer and Maui didn't have time
to eat his food.Maui talk to the brother in the darkness how to slow that sun
down.

I have a plan to slow that sun so we have plenty of to catch the sun.They started to walk in
the dark so the sun couldn't  see them.When they felt the warmness of the hot fire from where
the sun rises from the biggest hole.Quick  get some clay and make a wall to hide behind and he

stayed still like a  tuatara.Do not jump out  only when I say so Maui saw the eyes of the sun and soon he saw the  big white hot teeth and Maui said now brother and the ropes over his hair.


Stop said the sun can't you see that I'm  nearly dead the sun moved this way and that way

but he can't get out Maui said loosen the ropes.The sun drifted slowly across the sky.

The amazing fun run.

Yesterday was so cool cause we had our school fun run. I was running in the 8 years old and I had butterfly's in my stomach, It was kind of nervous in the start cause the horn was  like a fireman's truck. So I will tell you about the race so when the start was scary cause you don't know when it is going to happen. At the end I came first and my nana was so proud of me that she could not stop talking about it. So that was my fun run.

Bradley's Maui and The Sun Story

A long time ago there lived a man call Maui. Maui and his brothers saw the sun going to fast. They made rope to catch the sun because they have no time to fish, eat and no time to hunt. Maui and brother pull the sun and the sun said let me go. I'm going to die. Maui let him go and it went slowly. So they have time to fish and hunt and eat.

Be Nice to everyone and all of the teachers even your family. Play with each and take care when someone is hurt or they have broken bones, Listen to the teacher then you might get a treat if they have some. So the korero for today is be nice and it will always be that.
