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!
