Animation voice over

Once long ago there was a strong maori man his name was Maui he had accomplished many things. Did you know Maui slowed down the sun and made our days longer. Anyways Maui decided to go fishing so he could feed his whanau so Maui grabbed his hook and push his way out to blue moana.

Maui rowed his waka way past his village, river and his muanga he rowed and rowed and rowed until finally he was in the middle of the deep blue moana. He looked around until Maui was sure that it was the perfect fishing spot then he grabbed his rope and took a big wave and through his hook as far as he could into the sea.

Then he waited and waited and waited he waited all day and all night until suddenly there was something on his hook. Maui tried to look down into the sea and look at what was on his hook but he couldn’t. So Maui started to pull the rope made of flax, Maui pulled and pulled and pulled he probably thought he was pulling a Giant.  

Maui pulled and pulled and then after a lot of pulling he found that the fish he caught was a megalithic fish it was enormous. When the fish came to the surface of the moana it closed it’s eyes and perished away and floated on the surface of the moana and to this day that fish was none as the north Island of Aotearoa.

This historical story symbolises our environment that gives us many  things like plants and food from the sea it also give us millions of homes land shelter and other wonderful things.

Year 5/6 Camp Writing

WOW!!!  That was such a cool camp. Team four is so lucky to do camp every year. Last week team 4 had their 27th annual  year 5 and 6 Camp. We camped out on the field. there was a big tent  put  up called the marquee. That's where all the teams met. Our mission was spend 3 whole days together excepted for me I had to go home at 3 o'clock I was a day time camper  which meant I go home at the school home time.

There were a whole lot of games that we could play throughout the 3 days. One of the activity’s were called the  killer zone, were two teams had to complete challenges. There was an activity where there was two teams split into teams of six that had challenges all over the school.  The activity had  face painting involved. A special activity was run by the most important person in the whole school Mr Burt. He ran the kayaking activity and he had a few parent helpers.

My favourite camp highlight was the camp concert because my group the presidents  won.  It was so COOL watching my friends dance on stage. My second favourite camp highlight was going to the mangere pools because of the fun water park kind of part. There was  a you can sit under and you won’t get wet and when the waters not coming it looks like an ordinary pole. My third highlight was dancing on stage at lunchtime because they played some of my favourite songs.

The thing I learned was that l have to get better at kayaking and that never kayak by a strong current on a really windy day. The funneist thing I learned was that sometimes losing isn’t that bad it’s actually good somtimes. I think that students of all ages go camping because it’s really preparing for the other night trips you’d ever go on.  

I’d love to thank Mr Burt and Mr Jacobson for taking out there time for two whole days because we know that you are really busy sometimes. I’d also liked to thank all the teachers and parents to making the camp run. I’d  also like to thank the crew who helped put together all our meals and tents. The biggest thanks I’d like say to is all the people who made the camp happen in all the bad weather and stayed the whole night to keep us safe.
