The Children whose Mum was up in the sky - A re-telling

Children whose Mum was up in the Sky

Many years ago on a dark moonlit night the children were thirsty and asked "E Rona can you get some water?" Rona said "Yes" and she got the taha and went to the path. The path was bumpy. Rona couldn't see anything. Rona said "Marama! Marama! Get out of that cloud!" Marama didn't care. Rona got very, very angry and said, "Look what you have done. Silly old moon." Marama got angry and tried to pull Rona. Rona held the ngaio tree but Marama the moon pulled as hard as he could. Marama pulled Rona and suddenly Rona and the taha and the ngaio tree went high in the sky. Rona was scared and sad. Rona said to the moon, "Marama! Marama! My children are calling for water." The children were waiting and waiting. Suddenly the children heard something and it was their mum. The mum said, "I'm up with Marama."

The message was do not be mean to each other.

Shining Moon - A re-telling

Shining Moon

A long, long time ago the moon light shone brightly in the sky. The the children were thirsty. They called out "E Rona! Bring us some water." Rona took a taha and set off to the water spring. The way to the water spring was bumpy and Marama hid behind a dark black cloud. "Come out from behind that cloud." Rona shouted at the moon. Rona was walking and she tripped over a ngaio tree. Rona shouted "See! What! You! Have! Done!" Marama said "Don't you talk to me like that!" Rona said "I can say what I want to say." Then Marama swooped down and grabbed Rona but Rona held onto the ngaio tree and then Marama pulled harder. "Please" Rona begged. "My children are calling me." Marama pulled so hard that the ngaio tree came right out of the dirt. Then Marama held onto Rona. The children came out looking for their mum. "I'm up here with Marama."

The message for this story is watch what comes out of your mouth.

THE PUMPHOUSE

On Monday I went with Mrs Phillips and Izac from Pt. England School to the Pumphouse Theatre in Takapuna to see the HAIRY MACLARY SHOW. It was a good show and I liked it when Slinky Malinki was stealing   things in the night. It was very funny when Scarface Claw got stuck up in a tree and all the people shouted and pointed at the tree.

After the show we ate our lunch and then went to Takapuna Library and read some Hairy MacMaclary Books. When we left there we went to Takapuna Beach and saw a volcano called Rangitoto. On the way back to school we had a Happy Meal at McDonald's and played on  a playground  in a park.

I enjoyed the day and liked meeting my new friend Izac because he wears hearing aids like me.

On Thursday night we had a musical evening. I was excited and I was happy because my mum had put money in my shirt. I was wearing jeans, a shirt and a hat. My mum was cheering for me. I was in a group who was playing the bass. I was moving my arm out and in. I took my hat off my head. My mum said "Where is your $5?" It was in my pocket. My favourite part was Noisy Boys. I like Rolland because he was playing the bass. So first we were cheering for Rolland. Big Beat Box Boogie was a cool song. I like Big Beat Box Boogie, that is my favourite song. My favourite part was the Sister Act. I loved the Sister Act. My uncle had another concert.

On Thursday night Dorothy said "Room 4 will sing The Beat Box Boogie." "
Thank you Room 4" said Angelica. I wore a skirt and a white t-shirt with black spots. When i was dancing my mum put 20 dollars on me. I was nervous because they were too many people. I was in the horn stabs. My mum was cheering for me. I saw my whole family and my Aunty. My dad was holding my baby brother. I like the Noisy Boy because I liked the way it was playing loud. I like Saveu's singing because she has got a beautiful voice. Most of all I liked the Noisy Boys. My favourite part was when i was dancing and singing to share our talents with our family and cousins. I moved my arms up and down, side to side. Everyone was clapping for Room 4. My Aunty was proud of me and my sister. June was nervous when she was singing in the microphone. I liked Room 6's band. We went back home. My mum gave me something. I liked the sausage sizzle.

On Thursday night St Pius X had a musical evening. First of all Room 4 stood up on the stage. When I went up I saw some people, mums and dads and brothers and sisters too. When I was on stage I was nervous. My group was on the drums. Saveu had to sing and I had to dance. Motu's group was first. My group was third. After that Saveu had to sing again and then we all had to sing. At the end the Boys had to throw their hats off. My brother took a video. After that I went back home. My favourite part was when we did our parts together.
