Last Friday Room 2 and some other classes from our school had a visit from illustrators and writers as part of the storyline festival which aims to bring New Zealand children together with their favourite New Zealand authors. One of the authors that came to speak was Melanie Drewery. Melanie grew up in Coramandel and writes and illustrates fantastic New Zealand stories. You may have heard of her Nani Mihi books. Here is a couple of stories we have read in class. See if you can find some of your own to read.
Here are a couple of the stories we wrote about Itiitis gift
Ittiti didn't know how to weave. She didn't know how to play the guitar, so she tried running up a hill but she still couldn't do it. Then she tried climbing but she couldn't do it. She tried singing and that was her gift.
Carlos
Ittiti was looking for her gift. She tried climbing up a tree. She ran up a hill. She tried weaving but she couldn't do it. She listened to he mum playing the guitar. She was going to cry so she went outside. She sang a song. Everyone heard her voice, it was beautiful. They sang with her.
Cassie
Ittiti was looking for her gift. She tried running and weaving. She did the guitar. She tried climbing and carving until she found her gift, it was singing. All her family came and joined in. Ittiti was good at something. She was proud.
