FIAT Letter to Ally

Our school has been taking party in the GRA (Global Read Aloud). This is where schools around the world read the same book, and communicate with each other. Our class has been reading the book Fish in a Tree. That's where FIAT comes from. We have done a activity where we write a letter to Ally in the book to give her advice and stuff like that. Here is my letter

Dear Ally,

I can not believe you aren’t letting anyone know about your problem with reading! I would tell someone, (definitely not Shey,) then they would help you. At least Mr. Daniels has found out.

It sounds like you are great at chess, eh? I used to play chess, I know how to play, but I ain't that good. A friend and classmate, Harris, is really good at chess, maybe you could verse him sometime.

Anyways, have you told Mr. Daniels about Shey? Sure, he knows about her, but does he know about what she is really doing to you? I think you should tell Mr. Daniels that it was a misunderstanding when you took a piece of Shey’s cake off, then Mr. Daniels will be able to sort it out. Or maybe you could tell Shey about it, and maybe she will forgive you. I just think you should let Shey know somehow.

Also, it’s good that you have got some friends. If you believe that you don’t fit in, don’t. Everyone is different. We have got some trouble makers in our class, some nerds, some braggers, and no one is the same. Just like that saying “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish be it’s ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.”

You are a great drawer, Ally. Keisha is a great cook, and Albert is a nerd. You guys are great together. All you need to do is believe.

Sincerely,

Lucas

Unitec Marae

On Wednesday, Kauri Team went to the Unitec Marae. I have taken a few pictures and a couple of videos.

Here is a picture of the Wharenui.

Wairaka Legend

We have been doing some writing recently, and the class have been doing something like a "remake" of the Wairaka legend. We are doing this because Kauri team are going to go to a Marai trip at Unitec. At least that's what I think. Or maybe because our school has got her name in it, "Owairaka". I have also made an Emaze presentation.

The women were sunbathing on the beach, when somebody called out,

“The canoe is floating away!” Wairaka, one of the women, shouted,

“Hey, we can’t just wait for the men to come back, we need to do something!” The canoe was floating away further. One woman started walking towards the shore line, but stopped abruptly.

“But the rules are that women can’t touch the paddles!” She argued. Wairaka sighed.

“Well, do you want to be stranded here, or do you want to get back home?!” She shouted,

“We want to get back!” The woman shouted back.

“Well then, let’s get that canoe!” Wairaka commanded the other women to follow her to the canoe. The canoe was already a bit far out, but she didn’t stop. They waded into the water. Wairaka grabbed the canoe to stop it floating away further, and told the women to jump in. They did as they were told. After everyone were on board, Wairaka jumped in, and started shouting, “Heave! Ho! Heave! Ho! Heave! Ho!” The women paddled with the beat, and in no time, the canoe was back to shore. Everyone hopped out, and when they did, the men came back.

“Hey,” the chief shouted, “How dare you touch the paddles. Especially you, Wairaka. You know the rules around here.” The chief was really irritated.

“Well, if we didn’t do anything about the canoe, which was floating away, we would be stuck here, thanks to that stupid rule.” Wairaka retorted. The chief ignored Wairaka.

“Come on, let’s get back.” He instructed. The men and women climbed into the canoe, and the men rowed the canoe back home.
