Boom, suddenly everyone was cheering and looking at the new museum but the people started to look at the huge explosion. It was big loud and scary. The clouds were not white. They were big heavy orange clouds. Many people thought that terrorist had set off smoke bombs on top of the museum but everyone started to clap and cheer and watch the building. On a cloudy day.

 

TOMATO FOOD FIGHT

Squish, splot, plot tomatoes were everywhere. They were everywhere on walls, on people and in people's  hair but there was a reason for this monstrosity.  It was the Tomato Pulp Festival! This event isa tomato fight during an annual tomato festival in the Mediterranean village of Bunol. This event is about squishing tomatoes and throwing them on people.  I dislike the tomato pulp because it is wasting veggies. They should stop throwing them on people and put them back.

Maui legends

As part of Matariki we re- read the lengends of Maui. We then retold a  legend and created artwork. Below is my work. 

                                The Fish Of Maui   

Maui had magical powers and was much better at everything than his four brothers Roto, Mua, Pae, and Taha. They planned to go fishing the next day but they had not told Maui. They were jealous and didn’t want Maui to come. Early next morning Maui hid in the bottom of his brother’s waka.  When his brothers were ready to fish, Maui noticed that they were in a bad fishing spot so Maui leapt out of his hiding place and he said, “This isn’t a good fishing place”. Maui took control over the waka and headed south. After a long time they finally stopped at a place that Maui decided was a good place to fish. He needed bait and asked his brothers, “Can I have some bait?” “No Maui! ”, the brothers replied. So Maui smacked himself in the  nose to get his own blood to use as bait. Maui got his magical jawbone and he spun his jawbone around as fast as a taiaha. He threw his magical jawbone into the water and waited until he caught something.  Then he felt a huge tug on the line.  He heaved and tugged and he pulled up a giant fish that become the North Island.  Maui told his brothers to not whack the fish or they would damage it. He had to go the head of the fish to get his jawbone. He got his magical jawbone and ran back but the flatfish turned into mountain ranges and hills because his brothers were jealous and they whacked and cut up the fish. The giant fish became the North Island of New Zealand and Maui’s waka became the South Island.
