Maui and the giant fish

Maui and the giant fish 

1. I have learned that all of Maui brothers went fishing but every time Maui would ask to go with them all the brothers would make excuses just so he wouldn't go. 

2. That when Maui hide in the canoe and the brothers went fishing in the morning they thought 

the boat was heavy but then after a well Maui came out and reveled is self to his brothers

and that he did a karakia and then all the brothers keep getting fish and then Maui said it was his turn and he ended up bring up one of the big fish and every one just thought that his brothers were eating the fish. 

3. I also learnt that Maui fish became the North Island of Aotearoa and also Maui canoe was the South Island. 

Stuff that I would like to share that I already new about Maui. 

1. That Maui wanted to slow the sun down in the sky because he doesn't like eating in the dark. 

2.That Maui and his brothers catches the sun to slow it down for when they eat its not dark and they can eat in the light.

“Well what’s wrong with the grinch?” I said

Then the grinch toke santa into a car and went away and it was just me and the melted snowman.

Santa's Village 

We have been making a story. what we had to do at first is that we had to get a dice and roll it and what ever number it rolls on then that is the charter and setting place and time and what was the problem. 

I got...

A snowman (Charter ) 

Santa's Village ( Setting Place ) 

In the middle of the night ( Sitting Time ) 

and last but not least

Someone try's to ruin Christmas ( The Problem ) 

I have done a story and add myself and Santa Claus and the Grinch. 

Santa’s Village

“CHRISTMAS AS STARTED YAY!”

Shouted Santa as he was making the snowman outside. I was also helping santa decorate the Snowman, well the Elves were inside making all the parents.

As we were making the snowman there was a big nose, it sounded like a big thump like something landing onto the ground. Santa, The snowman and myself all turned around to see what it was.

It was very hairy and very tall but it was all green and had funny things coming out of his head which was green as well.

“OH NO!” yelled Santa

“What’s the matter?” I asked

“Well it’s the grinch and also look the snowman has melted what can we do now?” said Santa well he was worried.

“The grinch is bad version of me he always tries to ruin christmas every year” explained Santa.

Then the grinch tries to sneak around us to get into santa’s village

“Look look the grinch is trying to get into your village,” I said.

“OH no we have to go after him right away” shouted Santa.

Then off we were chasing after the grinch but instead off Santa getting the grinch it was the other way around the grinch got Santa…

“What are we going to do now and it’s the middle of the night we need Santa it’s time to deliver the gifts to houses!”

I said.

So me myself and I jumped into the sleigh and hooked the reindeers onto the sleigh then off we went to go and find Santa claus.

“Look it’s Santa let’s get Santa back,”

and we starting to go faster and faster and look we are next to them

“quick jump into the sleigh Santa”

and he just made it “

yay you made it now let’s get going”

And off we went.

“We did it we got all the gifts delivered and we did it in time” cheered Santa

Everyone got what they wanted and they had an amazing christmas.

Mexico

Mexico 

Today we have been learning about how they do Christmas in Mexico. We had to read a story and once we finish we made a picture. I learnt that After each of the parades there is a party and a pinata is broken. All the homes are decorated because a different home is chosen each night. 

Christmas Round The World

Christmas Round The World 

We have been learning about Christmas traditions around the world. Today I learned how other country's say Christmas. 
Here are 2 ways to say Christmas in different langues 
Welsh: Nadolig Llawen 
and in Swedish: God Yul 
I also learned that Italian people eat and drink very little on Christmas day because this is a special day of prayer.  

All around the world people put different  food and drinks out for Santa.  
here are some things that people but out for Christmas.
like cookies and milk and maybe some carrots, beer and cookies. 

Can you please tell me about some other Christmas traditions from around the world? 
also what do you put out for Santa? 

Don't let the pigeon drive the bus!

Do't let the pigeon drive the bus!

We have been reading pigeon book there were called, 
- Don't Let The Drive The Bus, 
- Don't Let The Pigeon Stay Up Late, 
Don't Let The Pigeon Have A Puppy 
-The Pigeon Needs A Bath. 

After reading all these book we got to pick one and wright our opinion why we think they should or shouldn't do it. 

I chose Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus. 
can you please give me feed back on what maybe I could do next time. 

Don't let the pigeon drive the BUS!

I think that the pigeon should be aloud to driving the bus or even any other big vehicle or maybe any vehicle at all because you never know what would happen

dun dun dun…

Well and also he won't be able to reach the pedals to drive because he has very short legs.  

I think he shouldn’t because… he won’t be able to reach the pedals and see over the steering wheel to see where he is about to go.

I don’t think he should be able to drive the bus because well you never know what would happen and also he doesn't have is driving licens.
