Our amazing visit to Glen Innes Library!

On Wednesday 5 August 2015, room 7 went to the Glen Innes library to visit the people from the Auckland and they were our kaiako. We were learning about the myths and legends. 

• We were  looking at some weapons that Maori people use and they were rakau and patu. They splitted us in to 2 huge groups for our play. My group was the Turehu and were were doing some cool defends moves with our long rakau. The Turehu leader told us to be confident. We were doing some pukana real loud. Room 7 students were in the story, but the best part of it was that and Danny was the prince and Amelia the princess. Our kaiako were telling the story so it started of by the handsome prince Danny that went to the river(awa) to get some ika, kina, tuna and kutai, but then the princess Amelia went to the river(awa) to get a kina, tuna, kutai and ika. The leader of Turehu saw prince Danny came with princess Amelia and the patupaiarehe knew that the Turehu took they princess and then we had a battle at waihorotiu, but the god of the volcanoes and earthquake who is the ruamoko were talking to the two teams to stop fighting each other and prince Danny and princess Amelia got married and had a lot of children. So Turehu and  patupaiarehe were a big family and lived happily ever after!
