Maui and the Sun: Play Version

Narrator	“It was dark, the sun had gone down.”
Maui	“Aue, The sun goes to fast. I can’t even see to eat my food! Brothers, Come!”
Narrator	Maui’s brothers emerged from the darkness
Maui	“That sun, it goes to fast. We have no time to do our responsibilities. No time to get food, nor eat it. The days are too short, nights are too long.“
Brothers	“HA! Do you really think we can slow the sun!”
Maui	“Yes I do, and yes we can”
Narrator	So they made flax ropes while pronouncing a special blessing.
Narrator	“They went far away to seek of hole the sun will arise from. They hid during the day so the sun wouldn't see them.“
Maui	“Finally we found it! Quick, Build a wall of dried clay!”
Narrator	The ground trembled as the sun arose.
Narrator	Despite all the shaking and trembling Maui and his brothers crouched still, like a iguana.
Narrator	When the sun was in mid air Maui shouted,
Maui	“Go!”
Narrator	The brothers threw the ropes over the sun and pulled as tightly as they could.
Sun	“Let me Go!!!”
Maui	“NOT UNTIL YOU GO SLOWLY!!”
Narrator	Maui started to beat the sun with his father's jawbone while the sun shouted.
Sun	“Stop you’re killing me I’m almost dead, can’t you see?!”
Maui	“OK let him go, he won't run so fast across the sky any more…”
Narrator	Then, the sun rose off quite beat up but, he now goes slow.
Narrator	So now you see as the sun moves rather slowly across the sky and you can sometimes see the ropes hanging from him.
Narrator	Now Maui's people have lots of time to fish, hunt and  eat their food.

My Term 2 Reflection 2015

Backward-Looking:

What have been your learning highlights this term?

I really liked P.E like Netball and Badminton. I also liked how we got to opt in to geometry workshops and choose what we do. Finally, I liked the new P.E equipment, for example the tennis nets because the old ones were ripped and saggy.

Inward-Looking:

What were your Learner Profile goals for Term 2? Have your goals changed? Are you on track to meet your goals?

I think a few of my goals were to stay focused and on track with what I’m doing. My goals have changed quite a bit like from being kind to being focused (as above). I think my goals have worked me well since I’ve got alot of work done when I this goal.
