Ponaturi
My creature from falling into Rarohenga is the Ponaturi. The Ponaturi is a water person that lives in the underwater village. They helped a boy called Kae and made a waka and then went under the surface. The boy Kae thought they were mermaids. The boy Kae played a song for the Ponaturi and they hummed to the music.
In Maori History the ponaturi are a group of Hostile creatures and they look like goblins.
They spend most of their time in the water.
They come out of the water to sleep in the evening sun.
They are in a number of stories like: the story of Tawhaki.
In the story of falling into Rarohenga the ponaturi helped a boy needed to get across The river and they gave him a boat as a thank you for the song he sang for them.
Falling Into Rarohenga: The Ponaturi
The Ponaturi is a part of the story of falling into Rarohenga they helped a boy called Kae to get across the river to find his sister Tui. Tui went with a Taniwha and it had paua coloured eyes. Kae was singing a song for the Ponaturi and they hummed to the music. The river of Rarohenga is where the Ponaturi live and they live in a village at the bottom of the river.
The story of the Ponaturi
Ponaturi was in New Zealand for a long time. Now they are a legend and New Zealanders believe that they were real and I believe in them as well. When a boy called Kae sang to a ponaturi and then more came and hummed to the sound of the ukulele Kae was playing.

My cat
22/9/21
My Cat Bella is a tabby cat black, wight and brown and she loves to be scratched under the chin.She sleeps on my bed and never on Ellie's bed. We sleep on a bunk bed I sleep on the bottom of the bunk and Ellie sleeps on the top so it is easy for Bella to sleep on my bed. I love my cat to the moon and back.

My Mum
When I think about my who my heroin is, my thoughts go immediately to my mum. When I close my eyes, I see her here with me at college and I can hear her voice whispering in my ear.
You will see my mum in dresses or t-shirt with a skirt and she wears black shoes and her skin is smooth like silk.
My mum is: kind, hard working caring, happy and smart.
My mum goes out shopping for groceries, goes to work, cleans the house and cooks tea for all of us.
My mum makes me feel like the best daughter ever
