Pobble Narrative

The Sleeping Giant

For a thousand years, he had been sleeping, now he was awake.

The ground began to shake. And a colossal, monstrous hand, which had been lying motionless in a seemingly eternal slumber just minutes earlier, emerged from the earth.

There was an alarming groan as he slowly began to rise up through the ground. Arm after arm soon there was a leg then standing high up in the air hovering over a city stood a manipulative giant. 

He stood over the park in terror and one by one dragged his feet along the floor. As he groaned and thumped right through the park towards the city in anger. He knocked trees to their death and crushed anything that stood between him and his nemesis.

He left a trail of destruction everywhere he went and got closer and closer to the city as the loud groans echoed through the air. Screams of kids and adults made his ears miserable and made him even angrier. Everyone tried to get to safety quick but the giant was so big that he knocked over everything that was in reach of the next fifty yards.

Houses were destroyed, people were badly injured and some were sadly killed. But no matter how hard it was for the giant to reach the city he kept going until he was right next to the biggest tower in the city. He was sore and reckless but he was not going to give up. The city’s cries were getting louder and louder with every step the giant took. 

He couldn't take it anymore. The crying was terrible and over that, a big tree branch had stabbed into his foot while he was clearing a path to the city. He angerly smashed against the tower and knocked it down. The giant growled in pain but he had completed his quest.

His journey was not over yet though. He still had to destroy the city and restore the forest. No matter what comes his way he won’t give up. Then the giant left the city and slowly started to disappear over the horizon. The city was now left in silence, everything was destroyed and many people had nowhere to live. The giant was nowhere to be seen and slowly people started to emerge out of their hiding spots. The damage was terrible and many people were forced to leave their homes and move on but for some, it was too much to take in. 

But now it was safe again. At least that’s what they thought...

Baseball With Landon

Two weeks ago we played baseball with an old classmate named Landon. Our classroom split into two teams and then we decided on who was who. I can't remember who won but it was very fun. We all miss Landon a lot but we wish him the best in America.

Sport With Derek

Yesterday for sport we had Derek. Derek is the guy we go to for sport and ki o Rahi. Ki o Rahi is a Traditional Maori game. It's also very fun.

To play Ki o Rahi you need two teams, also known as Kioma and Taniwha. They also need to be equal teams to have a fair game. 

Kioma score by touching Pous with a ball then running through Te Roto (middle part) and placing it down in Pawero(center part) to convert pou touches into points. 

Taniwha score by hitting the Tupu(barrel) with the ball. Kīoma will have guardians(to protect the Tupu) around the Tupu to stop Taniwha from hitting the Tupu. Depending on which team has the ball, Taniwha must stop Kīoma from scoring by ripping one tag of the person with the ball. But if you rip both tags off, the ball is handed over to the other team. 

Cricket

Today for sport we had Cricket.

 But we didn't actually play because instead, we practised our bowling skills.

We had to partner up and grab two tennis balls.

Then we went to a set of red and blue cones and stood behind one cone while your partner stood on the other one.

Then you had to practice bowling it to each other.

I had a lot of fun but I was really tired after

My Animal Poster

This week for homework we got given a sheet of paper similar to a poster. Instead we had to write down all the facts, diet, its appearance and habitat. Then today we had to take that sheet and make it into a poster about that animal. The poster we had to make is for AG day.

My animal was a Miniature pig. The reason I choose this particular animal is because I have three at my home. Does anyone else have a miniature pig? Because if you do what do you feed them?
