Aroha and The chief

WALT: Create a maori myth (narrative)

Aroha and the chief

Many years ago up on the mountain there was a boy named Aroha. Aroha was a very brave person. Aroha had really black curly hair and brown eyes like the bark of a tree. Sometimes Aroha liked to play with with his younger brother Aote. On that day his brother Aote was sent to go fishing for his family. Aote went on his boat and went to sea. In the afternoon Aroha was waiting for his brother Aote. Aroha was really worried about his brother. Later that afternoon it started to get darker. It was getting late so Aroha went back home to go to sleep.

The next day Aroha went back to the spot where he was the night before. He saw   his brother’s boat floating across to him with nobody on board. Aroha was staring   at his brother’s boat. He got very anxious.  

In the  afternoon  he heard big loud stomping coming up the hill. There was a smell of smoke drifting through the air. When Aroha looked outside  he started to get angry.  He went outside looking furious. Then a chief from another tribe came in front of his warriors. The chief looked vicious. His hair was black as darkness and his eyes were red with rage. The chief had his sharp pointed spear.

His warriors brought  forward his brother Aote with lot of cuts and bruises. Aroha was very angry so he said to the chief “Why have you got my brother Aote? ”. The chief said “ We  are going to kill your brother because he stole our fish from our tribe’s ocean”.   

Aroha and the chief went to war but before that Aroha said to him “ E kore au e korero he toa toku tipuna.” And he added “ That means I would never say that my ancestors were courageous in battle”.

Aroha  and  the chief went to war! “Keritanga!” Aroha was by himself fighting with the chief for the last man standing. There would be no other way. So the war was almost beginning to become a tie. But there was only one hero to live for.

The battle had a shocking ending. The chief was killed by the hand of Aroha. So Aroha won the battle and his brother was free. The warriors went back to their tribe for good.

                              So that’s how Aroha defeated the enemy.

Basic Facts Test

Today I was doing a basic facts test. The test I did was  stage 5. The test was a little easy. I did well on   the addition and subtraction to 20. Maybe next time I will try to learn more about grouping  within 100 and I could use the strategies I learn to help me to get it right. The score I have was 54 out of 60. I only need 6 more correct to reach  stage 6.
