Hey guys!

The story was was about a girl called Abena there was a contest her father set up. A young man had to make the longest story. My complementary text was about a spider who wanted to be the owner of stories. The challenge was about a chief who liked stories he wanted a good storyteller who could make him laugh or the longest story. I'm sorry if I'm spoiling them but its just the start but i hope you like my reading work! Enjoy 

The plan

Changing the last paragraph

The young man started his story. “There was a mother bird who laid 3 eggs. The eggs cracked open and 3 chicks came out. The chicks got hungry so the mother  bird went out to get worms. She came back with worms she fed the 3 chicks. They got hungry again so she went out again. She came back with worms. She fed the 3 chicks.They got hungry again so she went out again. She came back with worms.

14 hours later...

S-she c-ame back… (People in the background snoring) a-and she fed the 3 l-little c-c-chicks.” The young man stops and falls asleep.  He had stopped. He had won while everyone fell asleep. When everybody woke up. The father had decided the winner. “The young man who will marry my daughter is… You! The young man who talked for 14 hours straight you won!” Abena didn't like him. She begged her father to choose the second place winner. “ I'm sorry there was a mistake. You are the one who won second place you win!” wha- said the first place man. But I won?” “don't talk back,” said Abenas father. The young man walked away disappointed.

Reading Taniwha Trouble

Hey guys!

My reading WALT today is-Evaluate ideas and information in a narrative text.

For the first week of term 2, I’ve been making my reading blog post and my book

is called Taniwha trouble! A Taniwha is an ocean legend if you didn't know.

My book was about a Taniwha stuck inside the heating pumps.And this kid

named Noah got his caretaker to get it out. For my complementary and

challenge text . It was also about The Taniwha legend.

My plan

My Twist for the last paragraph

“Ok,” he said. I'd better let it go now. It needs some really dark muddy water. I'll take it across to the waiwhetu stream.” Just then a kid opened the lid to take a better look. “Flop” Just then the Taniwha jumped out of the jar and the black gooey water slid down the desk. The Taniwha had escaped! Shouted a kid. He was pointing at the Taniwha on the floor just like a snake about to bite. Mr Blackadder walked slowly to the Taniwha he tried to scoop the Taniwha with his hands but it was too slippery it slipped out just like water. It aimed for the mysterious hole in the classroom. It swam so fast to the mysterious hole like a rat getting chased. Nobody could catch up and it was too slippery to hold. “Welp it escaped” a kid said disappointed. The Taniwha had escaped. Lots of kids were disappointed. They wanted to keep it as a pet but Mr Blackadder didn't allow it. So he decided to bring it to the waiwhetu stream. And the school didn't have dark muddy water. The end!
