Recount byTatiana

Yesterday Monday the 19th of October 2009 Nicole, Alene and Baby Cooper came to visit Room8 students and Mrs Moopanar for Roots of Empathy lesson.

At Roots of Empathy we sang a welcome song called “Hello Baby Cooper”. Then Alene put baby Cooper on the mat. During the session we all just found out that Baby Cooper had achieved a milestone. His milestone was that he grew his first tooth. After that we gave some toys to Baby Cooper to play with. Next we learnt about empathy. Empathy means understanding people’s feelings.

Finally it was time for Baby Cooper to go home. We sang a goodbye song to Baby Cooper and then we shook his foot. Thereafter everyone went home.

Tatiana's neighbourhood

I like my neighbour hood because of the swimming pools, internet café and the shopping centres.

I like the swimming pools because there is a pool for little kids, one for big kids and one for adults. The pools are also clean. I also like the internet café because you can go on anything you like and its also cheap. The shopping centres are also great because there are all kinds of food and they are all cheap.

From my discussion above you can see the reasons why I like my neighbour hood.

Recount of a soccer coaching session by Tatiana

Last week on Thursday for P.E Room 8 and Mrs Moopanar had a soccer training lesson with a professional named Manuel. He taught us how to play this game called catch the tail.

We had session on the court. It was very exciting. Manuel taught us how to dribble properly. We had so much fun that we forgot it was a coaching session. After that we had a competition where you had to try and kick the ball to the other side. The last person to remain in the game was the winner. We had so much fun bouncing the ball.

After all that dribbling everybody was exhausted and some might have had stitches.

Recount of Tatiana spending a day at Kelly Tarlton's

My holidays was fun because I went to Kelly Tarlton's with my family. We got to see the different types of sea animals.

My family and I saw penguins, whales and lots of other sea creatures. My mum said that all the little children had to pair up with an adult. There were too many children so my brother and I went with my uncle. At Kelly Tarlton's my uncle said that we could take pictures with the camera. My brother took a picture of me looking at the penguins. After a while we were all hungry so all of us met outside and we began eating. My brother was eating like a pig because he was very hungry.

Thereafter we all went home and started talking about how much fun we had. Then we all went to sleep. I had an enjoyable day at Kelly Tarlton's.

Narrative of "How fire came to Samoa" rewritten by Tatiana

A long time ago, in Samoa on an island there lived a happy couple and also their son named Ti’iti’i. In Samoa fire was unknown and people ate their food raw. On the island also lived Mafuie the earthquake god. Everyday Ti’iti’is dad Talaga would always leave the house before sunrise and return at night. Ti’iti’i always asked his mum where his dad was.

So one evening before sunrise Ti’iti’i followed his dad. Talaga travelled on a long journey past the coast and he went up England. Finally he stopped in front of a huge rock. Ti’iti’i saw that his dad talking to the rock. Suddenly the rock divided into two pieces. Inside the rock, the dad was making food. Ti’iti’i kept on throwing food at his dad. Then his dad found out that it was Ti’iti’i and told him to run home because it was not safe to be there.

When Mafuie found out that Ti’iti’i was there she chased him but he was clever and used his wrestling skills. Then Ti’iti’i told Mafuie to give them some fire and she agreed. She told them to use dry wood. From that day onwards, Samoans has fire and enjoyed cooked food.

Narrative of Maui and Tunaroa rewritten by Tatiana

Maui’s wife, Hina was having a bath in the water hole. Suddenly “Aaargh” screamed Hina. There was an eel chasing her because somehow the eel fell in love with her and thought she was very beautiful.

So Maui got really jealous and he decided to kill the eel. Maui planned to use an axe to chop the eel. When Maui saw the eel in the water he ran up to the eel and began chopping it.

Finally the eel was destroyed and the body became vines, the hair became trees, the head became fish and the tail became tuna. So Maui and his wife lived happily ever after.
