The Legend Of Wairaka

 Hello bloggers, over the last couple weeks my class and I have all made our own document about the legend of Wairaka. It took a long time, and it was a bit boring.  Have you heard the legend of Wairaka? Blog u later!!!

	The legend of Wairaka
	Once upon a time there was a girl called Wairaka, daughter of Chief Toroa. The tribe was called Ngati Awa, one day they were all on a waka, they came across a beautiful island. The men jumped off to check if the island had lots of water and food.
	As the men were checking the island  a HUGE storm came! The waka was rocking side to side, there were big chunky lumpy  raindrops,the waves were building up like a puzzle piece with a million pieces. The waves were chasing them heading towards everyone like a big mad swarm of wasps.The thunder was growling like a hungry lion. Everyone got a huge fright when the thunderstruck, it was as loud as a Blue Whale. Hail began to fall and it was making tiny holes in everyone's skin. The kids were screaming “I am too young to die!” and the woman was screaming to try to get the men to notice “AHHHHHHH!”
	Woman touching the paddle was tupu/bad luck. Wairaka knew what had to be done, she picked up the paddle and shouted “KIA WHAKATANE AU I AHAU!” (which means let me act like a man)
	In one almighty push Wairaka saved everyone on the waka.
	If you go to where Wairaka saved her tribe you can see a big statue of Wairaka standing on a rocky rock. THE END

About Wairaka!!!

  Famous, confident, leader, brave, strong, high ranked.

 Wairaka is Brave because she broke the rules just so she could save her village and herself.

Wairaka is a Rule Breaker because women were not allowed to touch the paddle. I thought it was a good idea though because the village would have died if she did not pick up the paddle. 

Problem!!!

Quickly the huge waves rock the boat side to side.

Horrified, the woman and children are super scared and think they will die.

Slowly, the waka is drifting towards the big jagged rocks.

The woman sadly can't  touch the paddle so they would not be able to paddle to shore.

Terrifyingly the men are not on the waka and they can't swim over.

“CRASH!” The loud thunder gives everyone a fright “FLASH!” The lightning makes the sky go bright for 0.01 milliseconds.

Wairaka thinks she has to save everyone.

Story!!!

Suddenly, the waves were building up like a puzzle piece with a million pieces. The waves were chasing them heading towards everyone like a big mad swarm of wasps.The thunder was growling like a hungry lion. Everyone got a huge fright when the thunderstruck, it was as loud as a Blue Whale. Hail began to fall and it was making tiny holes in everyone's skin. The kids were screaming “I am too young to die!” and the woman was screaming to try to get the men to notice “AHHHHHHH!” 

End Of Story!!!

Amazed and exhausted, Wairaka paddled the waka back to the shore everyone was chanting “Wairaka, Wairaka, Wairaka”  After all the women and all the kids got safely back to shore the men ran over and checked if they were all right. Everyone lived happily ever after.
