The Legend of Rahi - Para 18 - 20

 Today in class we read a book called the legend of Rahi. 

Here it is-

Rahi and his family took off up to the volcano and blocked all the vents where smoke was escaping, this rushed the smoke into the cave where the Patupaiarehe had Tī Ara and they were forced to run away. As they ran out of the cave they were met by Rahi and his whānau, before a fight started, Rahi stepped forward and said there would be no fighting, losing lives from anyone’s iwi was all too regular, and Rahi did not want this to happen, so he decided a game would be better to settle disputes in the future. Together both tribes returned to where Rahi, Namu and the Taniwha had fought. The tribes held wānanga (discussions) until they agreed on a game they could all play and thus Kī o Rahi was formed. Kī o Rahi was then played to settle differences or relationships between the two tribes. Today we can play the game for the same reason and the same way! 

I am David - Chapter 1 - Pg 1 to 3 - David Gets Away

This term we have our own group reading books. They are all online and there is only three reading groups. My group is reading a book called I am David. It is about a young boy (older than me but still a child) who is 12 years old. He lives at a concentration camp. He has to escape to a country called Denmark. We have been reading Chapter 1, Pg 1 - 3 just seeing what happens.

Here is my drawing that I have made about it-
