The Lions Cage
By watching the trailer of The Lions Cage. This is what I think it is about. My first thought was that it was about a man who was stuck in a lions cage and had to try get out it was like a comedy. But then I thought about it a bit more then I guessed another time. I think its about a man who got locked in the lions cage and had to use knowledge to get out before he was eaten alive.
Right to Vote
A long time ago about 1800-1893 only men were allowed to vote. I think that it was not fair cause people say women make better dissensions then men. (For example men in these days would spend thousands of money on expensive stuff but women can help them save it instead.) So that means the women would chose a better president for there country.

Nz Visitor
If I was asked to tour and take someone from another country all around New Zealand to places like the Sky Tower and one of our mountains like One tree hill.
I would start off by taking them to New Zealand's tallest land mark the sky tower one of the things I would do while at the sky tower is take them Bungy jumping cause its something cool that you can do there.
Then I would take them a little bit further to the Okakune city that's were the Big Carrot is located and its also measured to be 7,5 meters long.
After that I would finish of the day by taking them to the Biggist L&P bottle ever witch is located in Ohinemuri Reserve since 2002.
The Great wall of China
If I were to visit special land mark around the world I would chose the Great wall of china. And thats not only cause its in China and its one of the 7 wonders cause its also somewhere to go for a walk yea it may take for ages and you will run out of energy and it would be a experience for me and others.

The lost sheep
It all started when my sheep wanted to fly away. It was a cloudy day and I was making lunch for me and my family then I heard heaps of racket in the shed. It sounded like the sheeps were being attacked. I run outside to see a long rope going up to the sky and at the end of it my one of the sheep was tied to it. I was confused but worried that it would fall and die. As I slowly pull the rope down the rope breaks and the sheep falls right on top of me.

The Bright beaming eyes
This is a piece of writing I did i while back
Footsteps slowly creaked on every step of the stairs. The bedroom door handle turned slowly. As my anxiety slowly grew more higher and higher. I see long black fingers come through the tall door. I close my wrinkled eyes hoping it will go away. I feel the pressure as it hardly sits on my stiff bed. As it slowly feels my soft hair. It softly whispers to me ‘I know you're awake’. As I am scared to breathe in I still do. I start to doze off, he says. Don't fall to sleep. I open my eyes just a little. To see these bright yellow eyes beaming straight at me. I think in my head what could this be. I quickly got up to try to catch this monstrous beast. I use my dark blanket to try and catch it. It disappears into thin air. I rapidly run to my bright light and switch it on to see sparkly black dust. Magically flying out of my dusty window I quickly ran to my sleeping parents room to see this beast of a monster. Sitting beside their bed. It looks at me and swiftly flies away. It was as fast as a lighting bolt. If i were to describe it it had bright yellow beaming eyes, a black body all around no hair, long fingers and crooked feet. I feel my goosebumps all over my scared body. As I scream my still sleepy parents wake up to my loud voice they say go back to bed. I look through my window to the house across the road. I see the beast sitting next to someone else's bed.

The legend of Rahi,Tu Kahina & Patupaiarehe
My class learnt about the legend of Rahi,Tu Kahina & Patupaiarehe. We read the book about it and then watched a video about it. Then we had to retell it here is my retell of the story.
A long long time ago guy named Rahi-Tu Kahina had a beautiful wife named Ti Ara-kura-pake-wai. And this one day she was taking care of some plants the she had planted in the forest. When all of a sudden and jealous man named Patupaiarehe took her from where she was a cased a spell behind him so that the trees would block Rahi-Tu Kahina from coming to save her. But he was smarter than that. He build a invention to get over the trees and save his wife. As he went through rivers and hills he had reached a rock so he laid under it when a mighty lizard burst out of the water and tried to reach him but as long as he was under the rock he was safe and then his might eagle friend Namu came to his rescue but it was not over just yet the lizard soon turned into a mighty Taniwha but the eagle had already got Rahi-Tu Kahina on his back and they were back on track. When they had reached their destination Patupaiarehe was their with the wife they battled for her. But Rahi-Tu Kahin Na was to weak but he had got a little bit of help from his eagle friend after
they got his wife back they went home.

Mana finds fire
My class learnt about how Maori found fire so we watched a video about it. And we had to rewrite it in our own words here is mine and i hope you like it.
A long long time ago a man named maui. Had the audacity to trick mana the fire lady. She had 5 fire fingers to help people with stuff so every time someone would need help to make fire she would give one of the fires from her fingers and give it to them. But she had run out and only had one fire finger left. So she lived in a cave. So maui the guy who tricked mana yea. This one day he felt like putting out all the fire in the world and then pretend to save them. So after he had put the fire out he said I will get some more from mana. They were all so glad. So he trotted like he was a hero to mana's cave and asked for her last finger. She was so angry she through a fireball at him. It hit him and he turned it to fire fairly and flew into the trees and now everyone uses the trees to make fire.

Gold tooth
My class had to do a task for Tongan language week. Is the golden tooth. We had to watch a video. And then rewrite it in your own words. Here is my story and it is quiet funny.
A long long time ago there was a boy named Sione. And this one day he knew he messed up. He had split Otai all over his mother’s wedding dress he tried to say sorry but he did not even say a word before his mum had already pulled the shoe of her foot and the wooden spoon from underneath her sleeve. He tried to run but his mum grabbed him by his hair but he kicked her and ran away. He was now poor he knew if he went home there would be every one in his family waiting there to smack him till he is dead. He starved for days but then he found a yellow banana on the ground it was really a piece of gold he bit it but it was way to hard. It got stuck between his teeth and now he is now named the golden teeth boy who spilt Otai on his mum and got away with it.
