Maraia - Little League

 Little League  

On Tuesday the 11th of may David and his friend from the National rugby league and they played some games with us. The first games that we played this game that was like tag but you have to touch them with a ball. After every round we had to add another tager. For the last round I was a tager with Pauline and Aniseko, and for this round we had to count how much people we tagged I got 8 aniseko got 8 and pauline got 9 so she won.

The next game we played didn't have a name but we had to get into group. there were four groups every group had to be like flash we had to run to the cone opposite us then run back to line sit doen and put your hands up.

After we did that a few times group 3 had 2 points and group one had 1 point.

Then we played it but there was a defender I he/she touches you you have to put the ball down and clap 3 times but if you get touched after you run to the other cone it doesn't count.

After we played all the game we got our certificates and went back to class. 

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 .
