How the Kiwi lost his wings, retold by Kato
Many years ago, Tanemahuta went for a walk in the forest. He was looking up at his children and he was reaching for the sky. He noticed that they were starting to get sick, as the bugs were eating them. So Tanemahuta talked to his brother, Tanehokahoka, who called all of the children and the birds of the air together and asked if one of the birds would come and live on the forest floor.
First Tanemahuta asked the Tui. Tui looked up at the trees and they saw the sun filtering through the leaves. The Tui looked down at the forest floor, and he saw the cold, dark earth and he shuddered and said no. Then Tanehokahoka turned to the Pukeko to talk. The Pukeko looked down at the forest floor and they saw the wet damp earth and shuddered, and all was quiet and not a bird spoke. Sadness in the heart of the of Tanehokahoka was great, for he knew, that if one of his children didn’t come down from the roof of the forest, his children, would not have any home to live in. Then the Kiwi looked up at the tree, and they saw the sun filtering through the leaves. The Kiwi looked at his family and he looked at the other birds and he said I will. Tanemahuta and his family was very happy. Tanemahuta felt he should warn the Kiwi that he would loose his ability to fly but he would have strong legs and feet to help him search for food on the forest floor. He would become the most beloved in New Zealand.

The Rock Warriors
Many years ago the Patupaiarehe people lived around the lakes of Rotorua, on the Ngongotaha Mountains.
The Tipua people were giants and they were very bad tempered. These people wanted to take the beautiful lakes and the land away from the Patupaiarehe people.
One day the Tipua war party marched through the Mamaku forest towards Ngongotaha. The Patupaiarehe people became very scared. They asked their leader to save them with his magic spell.
Tongakohu went up Ngongongtaha mountain and lit a fire. He started to chant his magic spell.
Then the Tipua giants began to feel tired and they had a rest. When they wanted to stand up their skin started to crack.They could not move. Soon all the Tipua giants turned into rocks.
Finally Tongakahu was able to save his people from the Tipua giants.

Practising being positive
This term I have been learning how to write good blog comments on different blogs.We have been making lots of comments on other schools blog.The difference it has made is I know how important it has been to practise writing before I copy and paste on the blog.
I enjoyed posting on different post because they might also comment on my post.
It has been challenging to connect with the other people's blog post but I think I have improved.
Here is a comment that I have left on a blog.I've been positive and specific.

Constable Julie's Visit
Today Constable Julie came into our class to talk about road safety. Constable Julie came from the Glen-Innes police station. Road safety is important because we have to protect ourself when we cross the road. Part of her visit was an activity about distance and judging how far it takes for a car to stop. I learnt that we have to estimate between 0 to 70 meters how far away a car was. I enjoyed learning about road safety.

Watch out for those snacks!
This morning room 10 and 7 took a bus to the supermarket to learn about food labels. When we got there Ainslie and her partner were waiting where it says entry.Ainslie is working for the heart foundation. Each adult had a different group there were 5 groups and each group was starting with a different nutrition. We were starting with bread then we moved to Muesli Bar and we kept moving till the group finished checking the labels.Then we moved onto the fruit and vegetables.I was surprised that the choc rainbow bubble bars were so high in sugar.
Ainslie gave a $60 voucher card so that we can plan a healthy lunch.
