Magnificent thing letter

Dear the best friend in the whole wide world,

You are so cool because all the things you make are magnificent.  I feel so joyful when we hammer and screw all the parts together and at the end of all the hard work we make new and awesome inventions.  Do you remember the time that we tried turning on that electric scooter and it went 200 km more than expected ? It went faster than our dads car.

I felt upset for you when you got so angry  so I want to give you some advice for when you angry again.  So if you get angry again take this advice, go for a walk or have a break.

I hope you use my advice next time you are angry.

From your assistant

This week we read a book called magnificent thing so we were the dog writing to our best friend in the whole wide world.

Maui And The Annoying Water beast

Maui And The Annoying Waterbeast

Very, very long ago in one of the villages in New Zealand, Maui the very strong warrior was ready to go fishing with his brothers.

It was a normal fishing day until they reached the dock and saw something big in the water.  Their waka was also gone and something strange had happened.

While Maui’s village starved, in the water was a gigantic sea eel that was starving. It  had come from the top part of the world to find food. It was starving so much that it ate all the fish except 1 !!!!!!

This eel was feeling invincible.

Everyone except Maui was feeling like they were food for the eel !!!!!!

Maui was furious that his village was

starving so he got a powerful battle axe.

He just looked at the sea and he

 saw the big water eel then he smiled.

So he hollowed out the battle axe

then but the last fish was in it and prayed

to God that the plan worked.

It was handy that he was a good

trickster.

 The plan came together very very quickly and also was right because it was a sunny day where he lived.

He started digging sand and when

he took the sand back right in front of him was a fish. Maui immediately

cooked the fish back at the village.

Thinking that he would find more of
the precious food.

The next sunny day Maui filled his

bags with sand and then he asked his brothers to stay up on land with fishing lines.

 You know Maui is a trickstar so

he lay down on the ocean

floor and waited and waited for……

“Yes I’m getting eaten. This is amazing,” Maui said.

After he got in he threw his spear into the eel.

Maui killed the eel to her death Maui's

brothers pulled him and the eel up.

As Maui gets the spears to

Cut the eel open Maui tasted it after

calling it a eel it was actually a massive tuna. Maui cut the tuna open to get out. So Maui put it back on land for the village.

In the village there was a feast on

the eel  for a year and by that time there was fish to eat again.

We wrote a story from this picture.  In my writing I
tried to use as many adjectives as I could.
