Matariki

Matariki celebrates  maori new year

A time that you could see the 7 stars is 5:00am in the morning because it is still dark so you can see the stars

To of the stars are called wait and waita and they are twins

Around june is matariki

Round the cluster is 2 more stars called pohutukawa and hawaikirangi

If the stars are hazy it is going to be a bad season

Kites are the stars too but also they are still stars

In japan there are only 6 stars

THE MONSTROUS TREE MONSTER

The legs/Ruby

The brown branches/Ruby

Once upon a time there was a monstrous tree monster that lived in the forest with her mum and dad.  Her mum and dad  were in a cave asleep so she decided to go  looking for food and water to give to her mum and dad. She was scared because the wolves were howling. She wasn't too scared because she had wolf blood in her so she howled and ran back home and set up the food on the table and the water was  in old cups. Her mum and dad woke up and ate.they were fill  so they drank some water and shoved all of it down her  throat then they went to bed and they were fast asleep. There was  no sound it was so quiet you couldn't her anything except the birds tweeting away in there tree.

2     The pinky greeny leaves swished and swayed. as the monstrous tree monster was running home. The wind was setting in. she ran home and her leaves were falling off and she only had 20 leaves left. Another one fell the next day and she only had 19 she was scared because she didn't  want to be bald

 3   The bluey gray wolf legs are galloping through the spooky  forest  and he heard a sound and he howled and galloped away. When he got home he  gulped. He went to sleep.  flies were all over him. cock-a-doodle 0do  he woke up and ran to the forest with his bluey gnd her ray legs he ran as fast as he could. “Oww “he got trapped. His leg were kicking and kicking the mum and dad woke up and galloped on there  way and they found her stack owwww she screamed the mum and dad kicked the trape open  and ran home the mum and dad put her to bed. and in the morning she did`d not wake up  and she stayed in bed for the day the next day she woke up and made some breakfast. and mum and dad  said don't do that leat us do it. Her legs looked nearly healed but not quite so she did not run to the forest.

4 The brown spiky branches were annoying the the mum and dad so they said we have to cut  them. No never I like my brunches as she poked her dad and the mum said that`s a nuf and the monstrous tree monster ran to her room and a branch snapped of.  So she said i'm going to the forest to calm down and get everything clear And  as she rushed to the forest her brunches snippet of and she kept on running and she got to the place that she liked it was quiet and peaceful she liked it and she was calm and she looked at her brunches and she only hade 10 brunches left suddenly they grew back.

The end.

Dear Megan

Thank you again for coming to  camp moore road. Thank you for helping and cleaning our room You help to make it really clean and tidy.  Again thank Very much I really appreciate it.  

My highlight was when you helped me get my jacket on because it was un done. And when she checked on us every night. You also helped me if I was hurt. When I fell over when we doing the lolly light spotlight game you were there to help me and when I had had enough and my feet were cold you said it was ok to go in the dorm and keep warm.

Another highlight when we were going to see the longfin eels, I couldn’t really see and you helped me and Olivia to be able to see the eels by nicely asking people to move.

Yours Sincerely

Dear Dad

Thank you for coming to Camp Moore Road.  You are joyful and by joyful I mean you make me laugh. You are a good joker and by a good joker I mean you crack me up. You said you would kick us out on the side of the road to go to the toilet.

Thank you for driving us all the way to Mount Bruce and giving us lollipops on the way. My favorite flavor was apple black currant and lemon and strawberry. My least favourite was orange. You said you will let us choose any lollipop we like.

My highlight was driving back from Mount Bruce because me and my friend Sophie and Miss Hinde were singing to olden day song’s. And we sang rap songs and it cracked me up. Mrs Hinde said “What are these songs?” I said “Songs.” And she said “Well that doesn't help. I need to know what songs.”  Sophie said “Well we don't know what they are, we just know the songs.”

At Mount Bruce one of the Longfin eels was there  for 40 years and it was 106 years old. Dad said what are they eating and they were eating the person said sper pork she said they usually eat scraps. The lady said  They are greedy.

Yours Sincerely

Love from Ruby
