this term

This term we have been learning about poems like tanka, cinquain, haiku and all the other sorts of poems. I’ve been learning how to weave a kete and  a flower and how to plat. At genius hour i learnt that working with clay is harder than i thought. Because if you put too much water it gets all soggy and if you put less water it gets hard you have to be very careful of the amount of water you put. Today it is the art exhibition and am so excited.

the naughty fairy

Once upon a time there lived a fairy called Turi-turi, and he was very naughty. The little fairy wanted to catch the biggest moke, but the wind came and told him Turi-turi don’t go out and catch a moke, Turi-turi said nah why should I. But the wind said be careful Turi- turi, And the wind went away. Turi -turri said now what do I need to catch my moke, he said ahh, I know what I need. I need flax, so he went out to find some flax, he found some and it was so big and long net he tried to look for a hook he looked and looked then he swam down to the bottom of the deep blue sea and found a muscle he cracked it open he looked at the muscle then the flesh, then at the…. Flesh, then he carved the shell of the muscle  once he was done that he looked for bait,he looked and looked and finally he found the most biggest crayfish he had ever seen,but he still had to find a pebble, and then he found 3 pebbles, and then he said… him this pebble isn't right and then he looked at the other pebble and said this pebble isn’t right it's to sharp and then he looked at the last pebble and said this is just right. And then he jumped into his boat and paddled to the fishing grounds and it took him 3 days and he was only half way then after another 3 days he was finally there but there was something wrong there were no moke, turituri said to himself Since I am a magical fairy I can use my magical chant to make the moke come so he grabbed his guitar and he started singing and when he finished his chant the moke came, but there was another problem they were only medium sized but there was no big moke, and then he looked around and then saw the most biggest moke he had ever seen so he swung his tokotokohi and the water was so clear that Turi-turi could see his crayfish sink down to the bottom of the sea, the wind came and said Turi-turi don’t bang the moke with a stick, but Turi-turi said nah, go away, Turi-turi don’t eat the moke roar, nah go away! Turi-turi be kia tupato and the wind went away but he wasn't paying any attention that he didn’t see the water was bubbling and then suddenly... the big taniwha arose from the deep blue sea then the fairy said please taniwha please don’t hurt me please, Turi-turi I have been sent to get you so the taniwha opened his mouth and took him to the deepest darkest jail and Turi-turi got thrown into the jail and his boat, well the boat they say if you go to that exact some beach you can still see Turi-turi boat swaying side to side.
