Detective Macdonald

WALT write a summary

Last week Detective Macdonald came and talked to our class and we had to take notes....


Growing Up
Growing up in Scotland was a lot different than it is here in new Zealand 2010’s. Whereas our primary only goes up to year 6 their primary goes from year 1 - 7. As a young boy, Detective Macdonald had three hobbies that really inspired him to pursue them. Weirdly, he wanted to be a Football (Soccer) player, an archaeologist and of course a cop. 

Police Force
Detective Macdonald hasn’t always been a detective. To become a detective, you have to be a Constable for at least 2 ½ years. Detective Macdonald first started off as a policemen in London. Then a detective in London.

New Zealand 
After five years working in London Detective Macdonald got selected to be a detective in New Zealand. Willingly, he took the job and moved his family to New Zealand. Joyfully, Detective Macdonald traveled all over new Zealand before settling into the Kaitaia police force.

Detective
To be a detective it requires much more qualifications then a constable. You see detectives deal with much more serious stuff such as homicides, suicides, and kidnaps. Another difference between constables and detectives is that constables deal with cases that can cause people to go to jail for up to 10 years. Whereas a detective deal with cases that cause people to go to jail for over 10 years.

The Grasshopper and the Ants

One day in spring a grasshopper was relaxing when he saw a long line of ants carry food. He asked them what they were doing, they said they were storing food for winter and that he should too. The grasshopper declined and said it was only spring and he had heaps of time to do that later. All through the spring all the grasshopper did was eat, sleep and play. He got extremely fat.

Another day during the summer, the grasshopper was lazing around when he saw the same long line of ants carry food. Once again he asked them where they were taking their food, they said they were storing food in their nest for winter and that he should too. The grasshopper declined and said it was only summer and he had all the food he needed right now and he would have lots of time to do that later. All through the summer all the grasshopper did was eat, sleep and play. He got even fatter.

When the leaves began to fall from the trees the grasshopper knew it was autumn. Among the leaves he saw the ants once again. For the third time he asked them what they were doing, they said they were storing food for winter and that he should too. The grasshopper declined and said that it was too much work and he was sure he’d be able to find some food in winter.

Weeks later winter had come, the snow was very thick but it was no problem for the ants because they had lots of food and a nest to keep them healthy. The grasshopper however was very cold and very hungry because he couldn’t find any food.

After winter was over the grasshopper had learnt a valuable lesson, to prepare for the future.

Moral: Work today for what you will need tomorrow.

Rata and the Tree

WALT retell a legend

The Frog and the Mouse

Once upon a time there lived a small, timid mouse who
needed to cross a pond. In that pond lived a frog,
the frog said he would help the mouse cross as long as
the mouse played with him. The mouse cautiously agreed
even though he could only swim a little, the mouse wanted
an adventure. So the frog tied the mouse and his feet
together with kelp. He swam and swam, then the mouse
said he wanted to go to shore. But instead of taking him
back the frog drowned the mouse and started to untie
the kelp when a eagle swooped down and grabbed the dead
mouse. So both the frog and the dead mouse flew off with
the eagle..... The end.

Moral: Treat others how you want to be treated.

Maui and the giant fish

Maui and the GIANT Fish

Maui had always wanted to go fishing with his older brothers. But every time he asked them if he could
come they would always come up with an excuses. Such as saying that there was not enough room for
him because of the many fish they caught, or that he was so skinny they might mistake him for bait. This
made Maui very angry, so one day he had a plan to stowaway on their canoe. He weaved himself a
fishing line and recited his karakia to make his line vigorous.

The next day Maui hid in the hulk of his brothers canoe. While he hid in the canoe, his brother were
bickering over who wasn’t helping carry the canoe (Because they realised it was heavier than normal).
When Maui finally heard the anchor fall, he knew it was time for him to reveal himself. His brothers were
startled and irritated when they saw him and said “That explains why we weren’t catching any fish, you’re bad luck!”. “Put your fishing line in the sea and I will recite a karakia that will make you catch lots of fish” Maui exclaimed. The brothers put their lines in the sea and Maui chanted his karakia, all of a sudden the brothers started catching extreme amounts of fish. As soon as their waka was full of fish the brothers decided it was time to go home. “Wait, now it is my turn to fish” Maui said suddenly. The brother cracked up with laughter and started making fun of Maui and his rod, saying the most his petty rod could catch was a strip of seaweed. Maui politely asked them if he could have some bait, obviously they said no.

So Maui hit himself in the nose and blood cascaded out from his nose and onto his hook. He plopped his
hook into Tangaroa and recited his karakia once again. Then suddenly the line became taught and the
brothers stumbled back in fear. The boat started going crazy on the surface of Tangaroa, then suddenly
a giant fish rose to the surface. Maui told his brother to wait there while he went and got the people of their village. When Maui and the village came back, the brothers were greedily chomping at the fish and
the people saw how greedy the brothers really were.

That is how we came to live on this beautiful uneven fish, we call the north island. Maui’s canoe is the
south island.

The Naming of Tokerau

Decades ago in Doubtless Bay, New Zealand there lived a tribe of 100. In that tribe there was a chief named Poiharuru, who was determined to trek over a beach and to a huge Pa.





But there was a diverse tribe that lived on the beach and they wouldn’t let them pass. So Poiharuru prayed to the great taniwha that lived in doubtless bay and was in a trance for a few moments while he was talking to the taniwha.





When he woke up he told his tribe what the taniwha had told him. Then suddenly a colossal wave washed over them, and they all 100 of them turned into worms! Then they dug under the sand and crawled under the beach and to the Pa completely unnoticed!





Then another hefty wave crashed over them and they turned back into people. Tokerau was the beach that they crawled over and that was how it got its name, Toke means worm and Rau means 100!!!!

Moana Summarised Legend

I am posting this because my teacher said I had to.
The female lead of this story is Moana, a future tribal leader from the island of Motonui. Moana set off on a huge adventure to find Maui and restore the heart of Te Fiti which Maui stole. It took awhile but she finally convinces Maui to come with her. They travel through the rough sea, fight evil Coconuts and steal jewels from a Sea Snail. All leading up to the final fight versing the evil Te Ka, where Maui breaks his hook and ditches Moana. Moana is on own and decides she can face Te Ka without Maui. She was almost defeated when Maui comes to the rescue and they restore the heart of Te Fiti. Maui gets a new hook as a reward and Moana becomes the chief. The End.

How Mangonui got its name

Mangonui means Great or Big Shark. It was named what it is because the founder of Mangonui (Riu Karamea) was lost at sea and a big / great shark came and guided them to Mangonui.  

Rata and the Totara Tree

Hundreds of years ago, in a deep, dark forest in New Zealand there lived a small maori tribe. In the tribe was a master carver named Rata.

One day the chief asked Rata to build a huge canoe to hold his whole tribe so they could voyage the reckless seas. So the next day Rata and some other men from the tribe went out to find a tall totara tree they could use it to build the canoe. After searching for a while they finally find a huge, tall totara tree. They spend the rest of the day chopping it down, by the time it was on the ground it was time to go home. The next day when they came back the tree was standing perfectly just like it was when they found it. So they chopped it down again and the same thing happened the next morning. Rata couldn’t figure out what was wrong, till suddenly it hit him…..

He had forgotten to say thanks to Tane for this glorious tree. This time he remembered and when they returned in the morning there was a huge canoe the Tane’s spirts had made for them. And they all lived Happily ever after.

A Moment in Time

  I see the foamy, cold sea emerging towards the cowering rock.

I hear the ferocious wave slapping against the timid, trembling   shore. 

 I smell a salty stench slowly drifting up my sniffing nose.
