PAKANGA

WALT: To write a detailed account of a sport or sports event
we have been a part of this week.

On wednesday 30 year 5,6,7 and 8 students from Tautoro
including me attended at a pakanga tournament.
We had two teams, team one and team two.
The first game we had we versed bay of islands and lost 3 - 2.
There was a boy in there team and he looked like he was 16
because of how tall he was, But the only reason we lost was
because we were all a bit shy i think and we weren't putting
much effort into it. Then the next game we won with 6 girls in our team and waikare still couldn’t score and we won 20 - 0 which was mean as, it was also waikare’s first time ever coming to kaikohekohe games. After that we made it into the finals and we didn't think we would, So we versed intermediate and beat them 9 - 3 and we played our hardest in the rain, which was mean as. My favorite game was our last one because we played our hardest and we were in the rain, and it was unquestionably fun because everyone was slipping over getting tackled and doing stupid plays like john done, but intermediate acquired some of the best rippers because they were slaughtering us even when we washing machined sometimes. After that we had prize giving and intermediate came 4th we came 3rd, bay of islands came 2nd and like always kura kaupapa came first in first division and i can’t remember all the other awards. Then we came back to school and watched this funny as movie named central intelligence, but we only got to watch a amusing insufficient snippet of it then we had to go home. THE END

Uncle fred

WALT Correct punctuation 

Smoke came out thick and white of my uncles car as he was driving down our driveway “what's wrong with your car uncle fred i said” he came out with “its just old like me”.

And its tired i shrugged and walked away he always says that the engine has overcooked.

My uncle fred is quite old, and when ever i see him he always wears grey track pants and a grey knitted jersey which stinks of the strong smelling after shave he wears, you can smell it from miles away.

Whenever i see him he is always fixing his hair when the smoke comes out of his car. It is always thick and white and i know to expect a visit from uncle fred.

Walt : Structure a recount

7 - 6 - 18

In the weekend my whole church went to a wananga at Kohewhata marae to cook for all the people there.

It was fun because all the children cooking got some chocolate, and at night we played spotlight which was amusing because we just hid in the ditch on the side of the road. After that we started playing sting ball and it got serious so some kids got into a fight.

Then the next day 2nd ward had to cook but there wasn't enough of them so 1st ward helped them cook, and the children got some more chocolate. Some people went diving for kina’s and we cooked some chicken soup, lasagna and 3 cakes. Well only one cake the other two were brought from a shop somewhere.

It was really fun cooking at kohewhata marae and i hope i can sometime do it again.
