Mother's day mass

 Today we had a very special mass. We were celebrating Mother's Day early. Some mother's came and celebrated with us in mass.

In class this week we made our very own Mother's Day cards. First we folded a red cardboard paper in half, then we made a heart out of a to stirps of paper and then glued the bottom of a stripped paper onto the front of the card. 

When then we shaped the two stripped papers into a heart we quilled paper and then glued the strips or quilled paper inside the heart. The we let our cards dry for one day. 

Here is what I wrote

I appreciate my mother because she always helps me with my work.

I know my mum loves me because when I am sad or angry she will give me hugs.

I love my mum because whenever I make a decision she supports me   

This is a picture of all our cards

Maraia - How Maui Slowed The Sun

 How Maui Slowed The Sun

Today on the 14th of April, we were supposed to play Ki O Rahi but, when we had gotten there it started to rain very hard so then they people who hosted it said they will moved the tournament to next term, so then we went back to class and we watched a video about How Maui Slowed The Sun.

After we watched the video we had to  weave a piece of paper then our teacher would give us a section of the video and then we had to draw that onto our piece of paper, after we finished our drawing we had to go over it with a black vivid. Then on a strip of paper we had to write our part out, my part was "Long ago,Te Ra the Sun began to move quickly across the sky".

Maui slowed the sun by plating a long piece of flax into a rope with his brother's then they we to his pit where he rose from and then threw the ropes on him and made him go across the sky slower.

Maui want to so down the sun so they can finish things in one days

Maui's friends laughed at him when he wanted to slow down the sun so he can finish things in one day.

Maui wanted to approach the sun at night so that the sun wouldn't see them.

I think that this story is a myth.

I think it was fair that Maui was forcing the sun to slow down .
