Learnt waka drills

 At the start of the year we learnt waka drills. It was hard learning waka drills and the more we got better it got easier and easier. It was fun some time and the other times it was hard. But in the end we got really good and we are going to row a waka at the 1 and 15 of April.

Fun Day

 On Wednesday we had a fun day. All of the leadership group left because they had to go motion biking. So we got to play kiorahi and got to do waka. We first played kiorahi as some other people did waka and after we finished playing we swiched . 

Kaupapa Waka

 This week we have work on our kaupapa waka slides. The name of my waka is Ngatokimatawhaorua. My waka can hold up to 80 paddlers and 55 more people. My waka's Kaihautū was Nukutawhiti. Hm and his group of people rowing the waka rowed from hawaiki to New Zealand they landed in Ngapuhi. My waka is the largest waka on earth.  Nukutawhiti gave Ngatokimatawhaorua its name before that it was called Matawhaorua.

The dog had a missing leg so the boy throw it on the ground he was very mad and said “Uw yuck” ,but then the dog found a red ball the dog was very happy. The dog started to play with it. The dog gave it to the boy but the boy just angrily kick it. So the dog ran after it but he he fall in a box and the boy slowly looked over then the dog dog was running in the box. But then the got out of the box then the dog gave the red ball back to the boy and he smiled he picked up the ball but then the grabbed his crutches??.
