The Snowman

 At last! I had reached the small house I was looking for. Soon after a round Snowman appeared and dived into a giant chest, he showed me a picture of his enormous hometown. But before very long he leaped to his feet, he was heading home! I tried to stop him, he was my new friend! But he just kept going! Moments later we were in the air! Most kids would be scared to death, not me, this was awesome! I could see beautiful trees,hedges and small houses as we were in the air!, I felt the cold breeze howling against my ears as we continued our journey. Some time later we had reached a town civilised by tiny houses,empty garages,and a large church, it was surrounded by tall snow-capped mountains. We had later reached the docks. The docks were made up of many large containers, a wide wharf (of course) and a few enormous oil plants. Me and the huge Snowman had soon met a huge ship, inside I saw attendants having a great time dancing. But I had to keep going, there were nothing but water in sight,until,at last,me and the giant Snowman had reached land! The only species we could find were mountain goats. However… we had eventually came across a group of penguins, we were going down, this was our stop!,seconds after we had landed, a strange red figure appeared… It was Santa!  

THE END       

Did I Hear a Human?

One dark night on the side of a road, I Lucas the spider, was
minding my business, making a web, suddenly I heard a snap!
I left my web to investigate.

THEN… A large figure appeared! A human! A human holding
a large stick! I ran for my life, trying to use my web to clear
distance, but it still saw me, It tried to poke me, the human
was barely missing it’s shots, so I decided to head up a hill,
then the human ran in front of me, ready to kill, I had to crawl
down the hill. I had slowed the human down, but not for long. The
figure was right behind me!.. Suddenly I had thought of
something. I used my web to get distance… Then, I turned and
bit the human! “Argh”! He screamed, “Victory!” I shouted!

At last, I, Lucas the spider, headed back to my web,
feeling proud, after all, I had defeated a human!... Look! A fly!

Remember Poem

That was Pottery

Remember seeing those beautiful items as you entered the workshop?

Remember seeing the giant kiln as you walked around the workshop? 

That was pottery. 
Remember hearing that deafening kick wheel?

Remember the sound of your toothbrush scrubbing against your clay? 

That was pottery. 
Remember the nervous thought of what you were going to shape with your pottery?
Remember the feeling of excitement as you watched the roller shape a fish? 

That was pottery

Keep Mangonui Ataahua

I think we should keep Mangonui ataahua by making favourable choices about waste.
First, we need to keep our area tidy by recycling, reusing  and putting rubbish in the bin instead of leading
it to the ocean. Doing this can save our sea life.

Quit using single use plastics. You must reuse anything possible such as reusable cups, containers, and

T-shirt bags. Single use plastics can be dangerous to sea life because when the plastic breaks down, fish will eat it,
and die.

You should recycle. Plastic can be made into cool things like sunglasses!. But single use plastics can

only be used once. After their one-time use there sent to the landfill. So T-shirt bags are a better way of
shopping than using single use plastic bags.

In conclusion, we must keep Mangonui clean and green. Nobody wants to swim in a sea full of dead fish

and plastic bags!

Mangonui Harbour

The harbour is as beautiful as a flower. I smell diesel covering all the harbour area. The trawler has just caught a lot of large Kahawai. Its boat’s engine is as loud as a lion! I see loads of fish below the water’s surface, swimming slowly through the beautiful ocean. The water is calm, clear, and cold as ice. I feel the the soft-as-a-pillow sand as I run along the coast.                               

My Map

    One bright sunny morning,my mum and I jumped in the car and headed to Whangarei.  I was excited to try my sister Tania’s cooking, my cute nephew Caiden, and see what my brother-in-law Isaac was messing with down in the garage.

But as soon as we got there we had one problem.  Mum and I noticed that the lock on the door was broken!  So, we had to come up with a solution. I told Tania that we could use a piece of timber.

But, before we installed it, Isaac took me on a night trip to New World. Isaac bought some beer. But I got something even better! Some Sprite and a cookie! Why? Because Isaac said that if I didn't eat any junk food I was going to bed early!

After our trip, me and Isaac visited the garage. My brother-in-law Issac, showed me his K20 Honda motor he was working on.

Afterwards, I helped him fix the broken lock, we used some timber. Some time later, I went to bed. When I woke up, I went for another trip to Pak’ N’ Save. Me and Tania had eventually finished shopping.

 After our time at home,
our Mum had arrived...
2 days had passed, it was time to leave.

Rona

Centuries ago, at a time when there was no Four Square and no Pac-Man, there was a small village. There lived Rona, her partner and two sons. Rona was equipped  with eyes of emerald and hair of flowers. She was as beautiful as the ocean. Even though she was so beautiful, she had issues with her anger.

Rona’s partner was great at fishing. She wanted to prove to him that she was good as well.

This led to a huge argument, but after a while the partner soon gave in. OK OK, calm down… “It’s a great day for fishing tonight, The skies are as soft cotton!... You can take care of the Hangi”... Rona was as quick as lightning, in just fifteen  minutes, Rona had almost finished the Hangi, but soon realised she had run out of water. She had to head toward the closest lake possible but the moon hid behind a cloud. Rona crashed over a root. She flew through the air like a bird. Trip! “Ouch, Ouch!” exclaimed Rona. “Pokokohua!” “Boil your head!” The Marama heard this curse and swiftly snatched Rona from the ground… Rona’s partner and sons had arrived. “Look, up there, Rona!!” one of the sons cried” The two others had noticed… And that was the end of this story… Rona and the Moon.

An Astronaut

One Day a curious astronaut named Cooper wanted to find a new planet.

Another astronaut named Ace (a real trickster) painted his rocket to look like a rainbow-coloured planet.

 Lucky for Ace, Cooper totally fell for it. Ace slowly stepped out of the rocket and washed it off. "YOU!" Cooper said angrily, "Come here"! They chased
