Horouta Waka

On Tuesday we had a lady come to my school to tell us about a story called Horouta it is about a waka. i'll tell u some of the story that i know so one day Paoua and Kiwa who were famous sea voyagers and they live very far far away in a land called Hawaki and one day they traveled to Aotearoa on a waka called Horouta. on board with them was Paoua's sister Hinehakirianga and his daughter Hineakua. and Kiwa's son Kahutuanui was also on board with them. Horouta was a very fast waka to travel on. and on the waka it carried a root vegetable that is called Kumara and it was Hinekakrianga's job to look after it. the Horouta waka sailed from Hawaiki to Aotearoa and finally landed at Ohiwa and then they crashed into a sandbar the hull and a bow piece broke the waka so that would mean the waka couldn't sail. so paoua and kiwa had a chat about the waka and how they would fix it and after many decisions they decided that Kiwa would take care of the waka and paoua would go overland for search for suitable timbers so they could fix the waka Kiwa made some repairs to the waka then it could sail again Horouta carried on to its course line along the shorelineone day Kiwa discovered a beautiful bay that had birds animals and all sorts when Kiwa was waiting for paoua to arrive then paoua named it Turanganui a kiwa paoua came across a stream and there was a mighty tree with stuff he was looking for the Timber to fix the waka he used the river to float it down the shoreline then pauoa finally arrived to Turanganui a kiwa it was celebrated by Hineakua his daughter these people could be out here today.

Summer Holidays

We are learning to describe in our writing when we write our story or poem like use adjectives or specific nouns or juicy verbs and I found it challenging to use my adjectives 


Remember
driving to Baywave to see the big waves for my birthday in Tauranga.
I slid down the zooming fast slide.

Remember
Tauranga was boiling hot mostly all week.
We saw Mr Whippy at Memorial Park
and swam in the fountain and got all soaked
then when you hopped out your feet would get all dirty from the grass
and then the buzzing bees were buzzing around us.
We got home and got into the kids room and was as cold as an ice cube which was really nice because it was so hot outside.
That was summer.
