Eggshell by Michele Powles

Looking at the first image, where do you think the story is set? Why do you think this?

It is set in the classroom where the kids are sitting down working hard except one child and the teacher Mr Clark is wandering around checking up on each and every single child.

What does “Morena, tamariki ma” mean?

It means “Good Morning children”

Why was this person nervous? Would you be nervous if you were also in the same situation?

No because there are no strangers only friends.

She didn’t understand Maori that’s she couldn’t understand the instructions.

To signal help or to send a message to the gods.

What did they use the “ki” for?

They used the “Ki” to put the egg inside.

Bragging means going on and on about something you really really want because it is a new addition or because it is just cool. I don’t think I’ve ever bragged before.

You understand the Kaupapa game from the start.

How did the group of students work as a team in the story?

They huddled up and made a plan on how to catch every single egg.

Why did the characters mum “jump on her as soon as she got home”?

Because she wanted to know how was her first day at school.

Think about starting your first day at school, and the teacher is speaking another language, how would you feel? Would it make the situation much scarier?

It would make me feel uncomfortable because I might not understand what they are saying so I won’t get along with other students and the staff.

Guy Fawkes 2013

Guy Fawkes 2013

It was finally Guy Fawkes my dad bought some bad boy’s. We went straight outside with excitement. We had a perfect view from our van. We started off with our little sparkles. I was writing my name in the air. Even my little cousin was.

Then we were having a contest with our next door neighbours. We had these little boxes with heaps of fireworks. We were wondering what it would do. All of sudden it has such loud sounds and it was going everywhere.

I was wondering such a small thing does such loud noises. We found the cascades so we lit those and me and Sake threw them in the air. One almost landed on my mum because of Sake. She was so scared.

I was getting hungry so I went inside and had a little feed and came back outside and it was finished. So went in and started watching other peoples one. It was a fun night bonding with my family.
