Dreydon and Kate

In my class we had a author Kate that came in with a man called Dreydon. Dreydon came to talk about what he needed in the hillary trail and so that we can tell them both our goals and what we want to achieve.

Dreydon came around to each table and talked about what we wanted to work towards in our goal setting.

Kate came in with Dreydon to share with us what she planed for their 80km walk. The smart thing about Dreydon and the people that did the walk to raise up money for the schools is that they all took supplies.

Awarua the Taniwha.

In this story their is a Taniwha that learns  how to fly by her friend Rereroa. Rereroa gives some suggestions to the Taniwha Awarua.

Awarua was a Taniwha who lived in Porirua harbor hundreds of years past. Awarua would always swim out to Te Moana o Raukawa to look for some food and then swim back to the harbor, that's her home.

Sometime’s Awarua would chat with her friend Rereroa the albatross. Awarua loves to talk and hear about the things  

Rereroa saw over the ocean.

The albatross could fly for many days. Awarua wished that she could fly and glide in the sky like Rereroa. Rereroa gives Awarua some advice on how to fly.

The Taniwha  wings are too weak so the friend suggests that she puts stones on her wings .

After all the training Rereroa taught Awarua had to give it her best and try and get into the air. Rereroa told the Taniwha to flap her wings hard and try lift up her weight so that she could get into the air.

As the Taniwha slowly gets into the air she could hear Rereroa shouting  the Taniwha new the the other side was near by.

The Taniwha was coming towards the other side of the mountain

She tried to lift up her weight, it was too late she landed down on the mountain with a thump skimming off the top as she fell into the ocean unhurt but very astonished.

When Awarua got out of the ocean she raced full speed to Rereroa with joy and excitement saying did you see me fly

And glide.

Allergies

Allergies can make  Sneeze go to the Doctor and make It clean.

When you run  you get puffed out you can’t breath so you look right

into the the sun's eye and sneeze where  the sun don’t shine.

Allergies I can rhyme   it with galleries when  You eat something that

you're not supposed I’ll be your doctor and give  You back to your papa.

Dust the one  that makes you  sneeze you think  you're hard but  when the dust  comes it makes you  feel sad like a hoodrat
