Tom and the Dragon

One day Tom went for a walk down to the park with his mum. He asked his mum “can I go down to the pier mama?”. His mum replied “ok , but I have to tell you that near the pier there lives a dragon like no other, so never go, ever no, never go near.” Tom listened to his mum but he decided to go anyway.

When he got there he saw the dragon, his mum said to him earlier on “ never say never nay, never say anything.” Later on the dragon started to talk. “ What do I do?” Tom asked in his head. Next he remembered  that his mum said “remember Tom the dragon will bite you up, never ever eat with him”. Tom kept these things in mind. The dragon asked Tom for a game of chess with him. Tom remembered his mum’s words “never play with the dragon.”

A few days later they became very good friends. Tom and the dragon’s mums meet Tom and the dragon along the beach. When  their mums meet they both greeted with a nervous smile and with a hello. From that day on Tom and the dragon were never ever foes.

In the begenning

In the deep blue sea there lived a parent like no other named Tangaroa and she was a God. Tangaroa looked like a mermaid.  She looked after all the fish and sharks, she was their parent, but the grown ups were her brothers and sisters. She worked as a doctor and a teacher. She taught her own children and she was trapped in a very big house with the King of the sea.

One day the wind was blowing hard and it was freezing cold, the King was in their house. “What do we do now” they said with fear.  Tangaroa had to escape but how she thought and thought until she got an idea, maybe they could escape from the widow.

The problem was that Tangaroa thought that the King was going to kill her and her children but the king wanted to tell them that the bank of fish was broke.

Someone went into the bank and they robbed all the
money. Luckily when Tangaroa and her children were escaping they saw the king, he told them the bad news. So Tangaroa called a meeting in Fishville City, everyone came especially Tangaroa's children.

“We have to find that person and fast” said Tangaroa . In fishville city the person who stole the money went up to the bank and gave it back. The people were amazed who the person was, it was Tangaroa’s brother Tawhirimatea. He told Tangaroa the reason why he stole the money. “It was because my family and my wife have no money so we didn’t have any food, water, clothes, and shelter”. “Why didn’t you tell me if you had to, I would have given you some money” replied Tangaroa. Tawhirimatea thought as hard as he could how to repay it back to the bank after robbing them.  Suddenly he got an idea and he said “I know I could work as a baking chef in the bank so people can get their money and free cakes, muffins, Cupcakes, brownies, and lots more that I can bake”.

The next day the bank was full as if it was just invented. Tawhirimatea made a fortune and he got lots and lots of money. From that day on whenever Tawhirimatea needed help he asked somebody.

Howick Historical Village School

My favourite thing from our trip to Howick Historical Village  was when we went to the School. We had to be in a girls line and a boys line, which we do not do often at school.

When we went into the classroom the boys were in one line on the other side of the room, and girls line up on the other half. Our teacher Mrs Mills was very strict on us but she was still kind.

First of all she told us where to sit with a partner then she told us to read the date. Next we had to read what was on the board and it said “Whatever you do, do it will”.  Mrs Mills talked about Queen Victoria. In 1850 Queen Victoria was 18. Mrs Mills also talked about the map and she asked us where different countries were.

Later on we had to do some Handwriting. Some people use handwriting paper with a pen and ink, some had what we like to call slate, it is a chalkboard and chalk. Mrs Mills said “ this has to be the same as the top or else you will face the consequences”.

When we were all finished Mrs Mills said  “now class write your names on the top of the paper, if it doesn't fit then write it on the bottom”.  In the end Miss G asked “ do you want to stay at this school or do you prefer school now”. Some people said school now and other people prefered school in the past. I prefered school now because the children went to school in the past had a very hard life as children.

Te Wairua Tapu

The dove is a symbol of the Holy Spirit because it shows peace. The cloud shows the Holy Spirit because it symbolizes Heaven. The last symbol is the finger of God it is a symbol of the Holy Spirit because it gives us healings.

Holy Spirit

These are the symbols of the Holy Spirit. The fire represents the tongues of fire that was on the Disciples head and the burning bush that was talking to Moses. The water represents how Moses hit the rock and the water came flowing out and God lead his people through the red sea. The wind represents when the Disciples and Jesus were in the room and the wind came and they finally realised that the Holy Spirit is with them.
