HAKA

by Tajon

Once, there was a man who was Maori. He was a strong man. His enemies wanted to kill him. 

He went to the chief’s house. The chief told him, ”Go and hide in my potato pit.” Te Rauparaha went into the potato pit. Then he heard enemies footsteps coming from outside. The enemies ran off and he came out of the potato pit. After that, Te Rauparaha went home and told his story to his people. They started to repeat his words, stamp their feet and do the haka. Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora! Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!

Yellow

by Sar Yar Chan

Yellow is the soft bear Ollie that lives in Room 3.

Yellow is the sun that is hot.

Yellow is a book that we can write in.

Yellow is a minion eating bananas.

Yellow is a happy face that smiles at me.

Yellow is a sunflower!

Taniwha

by Ben

There are different sorts of taniwha!

Angry-grumpy-scaly taniwha,

Shark-like and snake-like taniwha,

Stealing-people’s-food taniwha,

Please- don't-eat-my-dog taniwha,

I don't like bad taniwha.

But

I like room 3’s taniwha

Laughing-at-jokes -with-a-smile taniwha,

Respecting-and-looking-after us taniwha,

Swimming-race-with-Room 3 taniwha,

I know our taniwha loves us.

The Little Dog

by Bullard

The little dog’s name was Ben. The little dog was sad because he had not many toys. 
The little dog said to his sisters, ’’I don’t have many toys.  But you can have some of my toys.’’ He was very kind.
