The sun was seriously wounded and tired
of being pulled by the ropes.
He felt miserable and hid away
in his cave for several days.

colder and winter was born.
Plants could not grow and
people
were sick of the cold.
Maui felt guilty because people were
raged and wanted the sun to rise back.
Matariki was a cousin of the Sun.
Matariki  decided to go and bring
the Sun back. So Matariki and

Sun felt better and soon got healed.
He came out of his cave and gave this

AKO Evening

On Ako afternoon we shared what we have
been learning about in Room 6 during term 2.
We explained it to other classrooms at
Tamaki Primary School. Ako afternoon is
about sharing the work you have been doing,
with others.Classrooms shared literacy,
inquiry, reading, writing and maths.
Room 6 shared lots of things.
We shared the puppets we made
for retelling stories. We shared our
inquiry posters on New Zealand History.
We also shared a mural that we did for art,
to retell Maui’s legends. My favourite part
about Ako Afternoon was getting tokens
from the other classrooms for all our
good work.
