Maui and the Sun by Imogen and Claudia

Once upon a time there lived a strong warrior called Maui. Maui had four brothers. One day he called them out to him. "The sun goes too fast across the sky and I don't get to eat my food", he said and the brothers agreed. So they made a plan.

Soon it was settled that they would creep out at night and follow the sun's powerful rays to it's sleeping hole. While it was still asleep they would catch it with some flax ropes.

So after they had made some flax ropes they set off on their  journey. As the sun was just peeking out of it's hole they ran out from behind some big rocks and threw the strong flax ropes over the sun and pulled with all their might. Maui beat the sun until the sun was black and blue all over. "Please let me go", moaned the sun. "Can't you see you are killing me?!"

They let the beaten and frightened sun go and now he creeps slowly across the sky and Maui and his brothers now have plenty of time to eat, fish and hunt.

Maui and the Sun by Mikayla and Barnaby

Once upon a time there lived a strong and smart man named Maui. He was always  complaining about how the sun went too fast across the sky. He couldn't get any work done. So he called his brothers. Chit chat chit chat. They had a plan. 

Their plan was to make flax ropes to throw over the sun, then they would pull as hard as they could and let go and voila the sun would go slower.

In the morning when the sun began to come out of it's hole, Maui and his brothers threw the flax ropes over the sun and pulled and pulled. Maui then beat the sun until it was black and blue with bruises!! 

Maui said, "Let go!" So now the battered and frightened sun moved slowly across the sky because he didn't want Maui to hurt him again. By Mikayla

Maui and the Sun

Once upon a time there lived a brave, strong man called Maui. He lived with his four brothers in a hut.

One day Maui got very, very frustrated because the sun went far too fast and he never got time to  do anything. He called a family meeting  and told his brothers the problem that he was  determined to solve. Finally  they agreed that they would make flax ropes and catch the sun. 

When they had finished they went to search for the hole where the sun comes out. It took a while but finally they found it. When the sun came out Maui yelled, "Pull pull!!!" So Maui's brothers pulled and pulled and as for Maui he started to beat up the sun!! All the sun said was, "Stop, stop you will kill me! Can't you see I'm nearly dead?" "Let him go" said Maui. Now he won't go so fast.

  Maui and his brothers now had more time to do anything they wanted. And as for the sun he went more slowly in the sky because he was in terrible pain. THE END!!! by Kate  

Maui and the Sun

Once upon a time there lived a great warrior named Maui, who  lived with his brothers. One moonless night  the sun had gone down and Maui could not see his food to eat. "Oh that sun, he goes too fast. Far too fast." Maui called his brothers. They came to him out of the darkness. ''That sun goes too fast,''said Maui. ''He gets up and races across the sky." "Yes" said his brothers. "I know, let's catch him" said Maui. His brothers laughed at him. "We can't catch the sun", said his brothers. Yes. We can. We will make flax ropes. When the ropes were ready, Maui and his brothers set off to find the hole where the sun came out from. Maui told his brothers to put the ropes across the hole. When the boiling sun came out of the deep hole, over the seas and hills, Maui called "Now!" His brothers pulled at the ropes with all their might and the sun tried to burn the ropes but could not get free. Maui began to beat him up then he called his brothers to stop. They let go of the ropes and the sun slowly flew away. By Emerson.

ARBOR DAY PLANTING

Our Weekend By Claudia and Emma

On Friday we drove to the Sands Motel. It took two  and a half hours. When we got there I put my bag away then I went for a swim in the sea. Me and Jake went to get our boogie boards.  I went in the sea with Ruby, Lucy and Yasmine. It was an awesome weekend. By Emma

On Sunday I went to flipaball. It was at Dio. Our team was called White.  The other team was called Blue. We got in the pool then a man blew a whistle for the game to start. In flipaball you can not walk with the ball. You are not allowed to push the ball down to the bottom of the pool either. You can swim with the ball or throw it to someone in you team. If you are close to your goal you can try to throw it into the goal past the goalie. After the game you get out of the pool and go to the team coach and you get some lollies and the coach gives out a player of the day trophy to one of the team. By Claudia
