Pouāki the glutten
The last couple of days in Mrs Jones writing we are writing about Pouāki the glutten. What i found easy was fingering out what to write but it was really hard to write it because my hands were getting so sore.Here is my writing.
Once upone a time there lived some people in a village and a evil bird that can’t stop eating people his name was Pouaki. Whenever he saw people he would swoop down and grab them with his claws and take then to his nest to fest on them one by one. Pouāki lived on mount tarlesse and the people lived in the Pā.
So Ruru the leader of all of the people thourght of an idea so he went to go tell the 40 best hunters to come and help him with his amazing idea and kill the the evil bird so they can eat and they can hunt for there food without getting eaten by him.
The men went back to their rooms and waited until it was night time so they could build their big cage for them to all fit in.
Once it was night they went oput to ruru and started making the cage and they knew it was going to take forever but they also knew if they work together it wont take as long as they think Once they finished the cage they bring it to the mountion and place it near a tree a little bit far away from the mountion. They waited for Pouāki to wake up as ruru needed to be the bait to get Pouāki to come over to the cage.
Then they saw Pouāki waking up they said go ruru you can do this you have got this so ruru went closer to Pouāki and stayed their making noise so he looked at ruru then when Pouāki saw him he swooped down and opened is claws to try and get ruru but ruru was to fast he was so close to the cage and the people opened the cage door to lket him in and bang Pouāki landed on top of the cage. He stuck his legs in to try and get them but they hacked his legs of and then he stuck his wings in and killed half the men but the other men hacked his wings off aswell and then Pouāki was dead.
They got so excited but they then Ruru decided to go up to his home to check if there was any babys to kill and when they got to the stairs they herd singing coming from the baby birds they are calling his dad/mum but they knew what they had to do they had to kill them and they lived happily ever after.

The creation of the south island
Last week in writing we had to retell a story about how the south island was made. What I found hard was trying to retell the story but what I found easy was writing the story here is my story.
One upone a time their was a man called Rangi the sky father, him and his wife had 4 kids the oldest
kids name is Aoraki and the 3 youngests are Rakiora, rakiura and lastly rarakiora.
Rangi the sky father loved another women papatunuka the earth mother. He wanted to meet her and
marry her so rangi went to the earth to meet her. The sons followed him in their waka and salied off to
see what was so good about papatunuka.
The boys keep trying to find land but everwhere they went all they saw was water but then a storm
happened they throught it was their father telling them to go home so aoraki the oldest brother decied
to chant a karakia that would lifed them back to their home in the sky/hevans.
But then Aorkai said the karakia wrong which made the waka sink not float back to their home in the
sky there was no way of getting out of the storm so they all decied to climb on top of the tipped waka
and it was so cold their hair turned white and the turned to stone. They are now called the sourthern elps
and the waka is the south island.
