Maui's Kaiaia

This week we have been given the chance to write a free story about whatever we want. We had the chance to write fiction or non fiction. I believe this story is real but you can have your own opinion on the story. It is about a man called Maui and he is very brave and went on alot of adventures usually to save his brothers or family.

MAUI'S ADVENTURES

Maori-

i Maui ki te tiki whakaora mana i te maunga ki te whakaora i tana tuakana rite i mahue tukino ratou matewai me te hiakai. ko Maui te whakaotinga engari ano hoki i te toa, a pai tetahi mo ona tuakana pakeke. mahi pakeke ki te hanga i te manu aute i Maui ki te tiki whakaora mana i nga kapua mo ona teina. mutu kotahi tona kaiaia mīharo i rere ia ake tiketike, ka ko ake ana tumanako ko ia ua ohorere nga hau kaha i runga, a akina iho te reira tona kite a tawhio noa wahia ki runga ki te taha o te maunga. hinga Maui ka u ki runga ki te ara iti i runga i te maunga. Ko e pā ana ki ki te upoko ki raro, te maunga, ia engari ka mahara ia o ona tuakana matewai hiakai. Fighting ake te maunga makariri pakeke i Toa Maui, ka tae ia ki te tihi te wahi i oha ia e te atua rangi. Ko te atua whakakake o pehea pakeke i mahi Maui, a homai ia ki nga mana whakaora i nga kapua, a hoatu ana e ia ki a ratou ki ona tuakana. I aroha tonu ia, a manaakitia hoki i muri i ia e.                                             

English Translation.

Maui had to get healing powers from the mountain to heal his brothers as they were left hurt thirsty and hungry. Maui was the youngest but also the bravest and would anything for his older brothers. working hard to build a kite was Maui to get healing powers from the clouds for his brothers . once his magical kite was finished he sailed up high and his hopes were up but he suddenly felt the strong winds from above and it swung his kite around it smashed on the side of the mountain. Maui fell and landed on a little pathway on the mountain. He was about to head down the mountain but then he thought of his hungry thirsty brothers. Fighting  up the cold hard mountain was Brave Maui, when he reached the top where he was greeted by the sky god. The god was proud of how hard Maui had worked and granted him with the healing powers from the clouds and he gave them to his brothers. He was always loved and cared for after he did that.

Meeting Jamie Duff!!

Today at YMS JAMIE DUFF came to visit. If you dont know who he is he is a famous New Zealander who races sprint cars and once was World Champion. He is very cool and so brave for races cars that hit 160KM. He doesnt even slow down when he hit the corners; that would be very scary. I also got his signature on my hat. I love the look of these cars and I really want to try to drive a smaller one. I think that Sprint cars are awesome and really fast. Here is a photo with our class but somebody is covering Jamie Duff's face (*WHOOPS*).  This was overall a great experience. and I really want to try race one. Here is another Photo of Jamie with him actually in it this time. 

Wellington Camp

This year the year 7/8's of YMS are going to Wellington for camp. We have been working hard over the past 3 days on getting every thing ready for camp such as transport where we are going and where we are staying. I have been working on Transport and I have worked on sorting out a Ferry ride across the Cook Strait. I feel that I have produced my work to a medium standard. I could have improved the way I worked by trying my hardest and moving from people that distracted me. I feel as if I have done good though.

Manual Week 6

This week at school we went to manual. And I was in woodwork. I am currently making a speaker box that is red and going to be very loud. I am excited to finish but I sadly do not have a photo to share. I am getting very excited for when I finish my speaker. I will make another blog post on my speaker when it is finished.
