It's Maori Langage Week

Cross Country

I had butterflies in my stomach on the day of the Cross Country. I came 7th last year. I wanted to come under that number this year.
We sat on tarpaulins because the grass was wet. The year six girls started first and the year six boys went next. Then it was our turn. We lined up. Dave went, “On your marks, get set.” SLAM, Dave hit the blocks together and I sprinted. I ran past heaps of people. The parents cheered me on when I was running. When I was half way I had the stitch.
Everyone in the school participated. I came sixth in the Cross Country. I was disappointed that I only came one under my number. I hope I come under sixth next year.

Kangaroos

Kangaroos are large animals that live in Australia. Kangaroos are marsupials, not mammals. When they are born they are only as small as a bee. When they are born they climb up to the pouch and sleep until they are 5 months old. When they are about 5 months old they can first jump. When they are getting chased they drop their joeys and run off then come back to get the joey. Kangaroos protect themselves in many different ways. Kangaroos stay in a mob so one Kangaroo can keep a lookout when they are eating.

The Wreck of the Delaware

Many years ago there was a house on the beach and it was RATTLING with rain. In the distance Huria saw a ship outside. She went to wake up her husband and her helper. They ran about a mile down the beach. On the ship the Captain thought he should throw a rope. The man that could actually swim was Henry Squirrell. Henry thought he could tie the rope on his waist and swim over but he got swept onto the rocks and knocked unconscious. They pulled him on the boat and put him on his bunk. Captain Baldwin was the last to get off the boat. He jumped off the boat. After a few minutes Henry was calling out. He was swept away into the sea.
So they all got a silver or gold watch and that is how Huria saved the day.
