After the spill reading
For reading this week we had to read the book After The Spill. Then we had to challenge the text by asking hard thought questions and make people re think about what they were reading about and we needed to ask a lot of in depth questions. Here is my work:
Have you ever read this story?
My Tūranagawaewae
For writing this week we had to write about our Tūranagawaewae other known as "your place to stand" I chose Christchurch as it is were I was born and were I grew up and have the best memories from. I feel like I connect more to Christchurch compared to any other place. It was also a show not tell writing so we couldn't write what our Tūranagawaewae actually was people had to guess!
Here is my summery about my Tūranagawaewae.
My Tūranagawaewae, my place to stand. Salty seas, grainy grounds from the beach water immersing below my feet. Walking dogs with the pier lit up… the warm salty chips against my lips having the view of the waves washing the sea shore. In town with flower gardens, libraries and shops, statues and songs played by people who are here for the joy of the city, native wildlife is everywhere you look, kiwis and plants all around, sun rises and the beach, and looking after the community is really important to us. That is my Tūranagawaewae.
If I didn't tell you what my Tūranagawaewae was what would you have guessed it was?
