Why deos Maungarei Sleeps?

Why does  Maungarei sleeps?

Why did Maungarei got woken up from her sleep.  

 Many, many years ago, Maungarei got upset because she woke up from her   nap. So she finally laid down when she got so upset that she was about to explode.

  When she woke up from her sleep she got really angry and frustrated about how she got woken up from the nap that she had.

And somewhere that she got really mad she started that she was about to explode, she started to grumble once when grumble and it started to get even louder and louder and it got even louder that I can’t even believe that it got that there was some smock that she was even about to explode and before it was about to explode it was exploded and then there was a big bomb and she wake up the other sleepers. 

After that the sleepers woke up and they all started to shake really hard and everyone started to scream and they were all scared at the same time. 

She was really lonely because she was an only child there.

And then she heard something and it was her brother and she 

said to him what are you doing here and then he started to explain that he was the only child who was all alone.

And she was so upset that everyone was mad at her and started to get angry,sad. 

She also started to get amoshall too. 

All of the volcanoes woke up and they all started to get really angry at her.  

Like so angry that they can explode and if she explodes when all of the volcanoes are going to explode too. 

So the her parents got angry at her because she did something bad to someone and then her Mum said that her sister is her favorite child and when she said that Maungarei got really mad at her mom because she thinks that she is not good earth for her family.and that’s how she got really made at her Mom and Dad And her family too. 

Maungarei needs to take a big breath and count to 5 Her mum needs to change that to her favorite child to that she loves all of her family so much that she can have fun with her family and friends too. 

And I just hope that she will love her family too. I  love  Maungarei.

Samuel Marsden Podcast

For Literacy we have been using our Inquiry knowledge to help us write questions that we might have asked Reverend Samuel Marsden had we had the chance to meet him and talk to him. This was a fun activity because we took on the roles of Samuel Marsden and the Time Traveller’s Podcast team. It was like we experienced actually meeting him.

We learned that when you are recording a podcast expression is everything! It makes what we have to say more engaging.
