It's Maori Language Week

Cross Country

It was a Thursday afternoon and it was the day of the Cross Country. When the bell rang I rushed into the classroom as fast as I could. Just then Viv got in the room and we had to get our drink bottles ready for the big race that was about to happen. Altogether we walked over to the front field where all the kids were. We found what year we were in then we sat down on tarpaulins so our trousers didn’t get muddy and wet.

First the year six girls went. They looked puffed when they were finished. Next the year six boys went. They didn’t look puffed when they finished. Then all the year five girls and boys went. All the year fours went next. They were very fast.

Finally Jonathon called out the year three girls. I almost burst out of my skin because I was so excited. I walked over in excitement to the line. Dave suddenly smashed the wooden blocks together. Off we ran like ma. I was thinking I was going to slip over in the muddy, slippery field. It was very hard going up the stairs.

I was very proud of myself because I came third.

Kangaroos

Kangaroos are large animals that live in Australia.
A baby kangaroo is called a joey. When baby kangaroos are first born they are as small as a bean. When they get born they climb into their mother’s pouch head first and drink some of their mother’s milk. When mother and baby kangaroos are getting chased the mother drops the joey but later the mother kangaroo comes back. Kangaroos walk strangely because they hop on their back legs, Male kangaroos are the boss of the group. Sometimes other kangaroos think they’re the boss of the group so that’s a fight.

How theKiwi Lost itsWings

Long, long ago the Kiwi lived in the forest in the tree tops. Kiwi had very bright, colourful feathers. There were heaps more birds in the forest like Pukeko, Bellbird, Kaka, Fantail,Kakapo and Tui. One day there was a plague. The plague made all of the leaves turn yellow so Tane Mahuta gathered all of the birds together.
Tane Mahuta said to the birds , “One of you will have to go on the ground.” Then asked Cuckoo but Cuckoo said no because he was building a nest in the trees. He asked Morepork but Morepork said no because he loved the light. Next he asked Tui but he was afraid of enemies down there. After that he asked Pukeko but Pukeko said no because he liked his feet dry. Then he asked Kiwi and Kiwi said, “Yes. Yes, I will lose my bright wings because I love the forest>”
“All you others have been selfish. Cuckoo, you told me you were building a nest. Now you will never build another nest. You will share nests with other birds.”
“Morepork, you told me that you loved the light. Now you will live in the dark bits of the forest.”
“Tui, you told that you were afraid of enemies. From now on you will wear a coward’s feather.”
“Pukeko, you told me that you liked your feet dry. Now you will live at the swamp.”
From that day on Kiwi had no wings.
