Seven stars of Matariki

WALT:We Are Learning To retell maori legends.

The Seven Sisters of Matariki



Once there lived a boy named Tony. Tony was raised by his grandfather, Tom. Tony learned to transform into an Albatross and could eavesdrop on his brothers. One day Tony and his brothers went hunting and heard beautiful voices on the top of Mt Camel. Once the brothers and Tony reached the top of Mt Camel they saw seven beautiful Tui. The beautiful Tui transformed into seven charming wahine. The brothers looked into the wahines eyes and they were spellbound. Tony took no notice of the beautiful wahine. The brothers took the wahine back to the village to make them their wives. Tony did not like their wives. One day the brothers went hunting to gather kai for their wives. They did not like seafood. Tony knew that they were up to something. So Tony quickly transformed into an Albatross and while holding a magic net, Tony hid behind a tree. Minutes later all the wives came out of the house as Tui. All the Tui discussed their plan to starve the brothers! Tony quickly wrapped all the Tui in the magic net and took the Tui to the God of the stars Te Urunganana. The brothers went back to the village with lots of kai for their wives. They were looking for their wives, but they were nowhere to be found. The brothers were hungrier than ever because they had not eaten for weeks! Tony said “Look at yourselves! You are skin and bone! You were big strong, handsome men! Your wives were Patupaiarehe!” The brothers looked at one another and agreed that the spell their wives had put on them was now broken , thanks to Tony. Now up in the sky you can see the wives glowing like stars.

The part I thought felt tricky was retelling the story in my own words and using different people in my story.

What do you think would be hard retelling the story in your own words??

Hydroponic

WALT: We Are Learning To make a hydroponic system Without using soil.

How to make a simple hydroponic system:

These are the materials you need:
Bottle, Bottle cap, Hole saw, Net cup, light source, plant.
1. Get a net cup and put it in the center of the bottle cap. Then trace around it with a pen. Put the bottle cap back on the bottle.

2. Get a hole saw and a drill a hole the same size as the net cup.

3. Get out the same net cup and put it in the drilled hole.

4. Put a plant into the net cup.

5. Water the plant until the water is just below the net cup.

6. Put the bottle next to a sunny window.

7. Refill the bottle when there is no water left.

The hardest part was looking online for videos that show the easiest hydroponic system and putting it into my own words.

what was the hardest part for you to make it??

 

Down the zipline Lincoln

WALT: We Are Learning To use our imagination on random make believe photos.



One stormy night a tornado ripped off my house  roof and carried me away and dropped me into a forest.  I ran as fast as I could looking for a place to rest. A friendly monkey carried me to his house.  The friendly monkey could speak human. The monkey said, “ Are you alright>” I said, “No.” The monkey said, “Follow me.” “So I did’’.  I see a zip line go down. I see Kong sitting down on a mountain sleeping. I tried to stay quiet while going down the zip line. But I did a quite fart. Kong smelt it.Kong said to himself, it smells a bit like bananas and then fainted.  I tried to sneak around but a tiny spider turned into a giant spider. It then ran away.  I followed the giant spider. It crawled to a town. I found my ripped off house roof and lived happy as could be.   

The part I found challenging was trying to use my imagination.


What do you think is challenging using your imagination??

Lincoln All About Me

WALT - We are learning to share Our learning on Blogger.


All About Me In my amazing family I have about five people. There was 6 counting my dog but she sadly passed away. Moving on to my friends. I have lots of friends like Damon, Kahi, Lucas, Isaac J and even more. I have lots of hobbies like sports, maths, writing, reading, making new friends and school. I enjoy my hobbies because if I didn't have hobbies it would be really hard to learn. Also hobbies make you good at more things. Next is what I like and don't like. I don't like eating chocolate because my dad doesn't like eating it. I only like chocolate with food I enjoy. I love eating bacon and eggs so much because I like eating pig and chicken. By Lincoln
