Ngahue report writing
Yesterday I had done my report writing about a chief, his name is Ngahue. My class had to do a report about a rangatira, but not Hineamaru because my teacher had done an example about her. We had to choose Ngahue, Kupe, Toto, Kuramarotini, Nukutawhiti, Hoturapa and Ruanui. I chose to do Ngahue because he sounds a bit interesting. I dont know whats interesting about him but he just sounds interesting. Here is my report. Enjoy
Narrative writing
For the past week, my class and I have been doing work about Kupe and the wheke. What todays blogs about is my Tuhituhi mahorahora writing, which means free writing. My teacher had told us to do a story about Kupe but Narrative way. My story is about Kupe and his Journey. Whaea Toni said that we could be Hine-Te-Aparangi or Kupe, so I chose to become Hine-Te-Aparangi. Here is my work, its don below. I am not able to pusblish it to the web but I am able to post it down below. Hope you enjoy :).
Kupe and his Journey...
Kia ora, I am Hine-Te-Aparangi. I was going fishing with my husband Hoturapa and a friend, Kupe was his name. Kupe told Hoturapa to dive in the water to untangle the ropes. I was very uncomfortable with my relationship with Hoturapa, so Kupe told him to untangle ropes and Kupe left Hoturapa in the water to drown. We were on our way to look and gather some food. Kupe got his nets ready to get some fish and bait, but all he got was slime on his nets. Kupe and I discovered that the wheke was the one taking all the food, they had also spotted the wheke of Muturangi floating on the surface. Muturangi was the one causing all the trouble. Kupe could not kill it, but the next day he went to go and pay a visit to Muturangi in Kahu-kaka. Kupe told Muturangi to tell the wheke to go away or else Kupe would kill it. Kupe told Muturangi everything. Kupe and I went away to look for more food, but there was no sight of food. The wheke came along again and wrapped his long slimy tenctichals around the big waka. He yanked the waka very hard, almost tripping everyone in the water. For weeks Kupe and I followed him to where he was going. On our voyage I had seen a long white cloud and I had known that it must be land. “He Ao, he ao, he Aotearoa I then said. Kupe and I had been the first people to reach Aotearoa. We settled in and gathered some food in the Ngahere. The wheke was still on the loose. The wheke hid in a cave, as night fell Kupe waited until dawn to attack him, but the wheke got his way and escaped. The wheke was heading south. My children and I waited at Te Whanganui-a-Tara while Kupe and his people chased the wheke through Te Moana o Raukawa. Kupe finally caught the wheke. The wheke was still strong and quick all though he had been chased from the north island to the south island. The wheke grabbed the waka of Kupe and tried to flip it over. The waka started getting filled with water. The wheke had thought a man had fallen overboard. He let the waka go and grabbed the calabashes. Kupe leaned over as far as he could possibly go and smashed the wheke with his mere. It turned out that the wheke that Kupe had killed wasn’t actually a wheke. It was a challenge for Kupe to do. My dear husband had tried so hard to get this wheke off the loose. Before all this trouble had happened, Kupe had another loyal friend of his that came with him to help chase the wheke from the north island to the south island. His name was Ngahue. He is a very nice friend of Kupes. After the wheke was killed, Kupe decided to explore Aotearoa a bit before going back to Hawaikii. He and his family named most places and are still in use today. Kupe then had head back to Hawaikii to give his waka to Kupe then had decided to give his waka to his grandson Nukutawhiti. He gave his waka to him so Nukutawhiti so he could have a good safe journey from Hawaikii to Hokianga. Kupe had then been able to settle in and have a good rest.

Hello. Today I redid challenge one bc I forgot to add somethings. In this one we had to do something in New Zealand. We only choose New Zealand to be the country because there was covid-19 in the other countries, so we had to do something in New Zealand.
