Manaakitanga
Hello Today Jayden and I have been working on out Manaakitanga Templates.
Its 10:30 in 2000 monday TJ, Jesse and I are on an abandoned island
with a huge volcano, We are in the middle of the ocean with lot of sharks
surrounding the island, We all got a rock each and hit one against each
other and it makes it break in half and it makes the edges really sharp then
we went up to the top of the volcano, It took almost an hour, there is a kind of
slide thing here so we look over the top and there is lots of bubbling and lava
pops.

we went up to the top of the volcano, It took almost an hour, there is a kind of
slide thing here so we look over the top and there is lots of bubbling and lava
pops.
We slide back down to the bottom and then we hear Really loud rumbles,
we think it might be good to Get out of here, TJ says “but look at all of the
sharks” Then Jesse says “ But we need to get out of here before we get
burnt by the lava, lets come up with a plan.

We got our rocks then went into the ocean, We were hitting every shark t
hat came over to us, We were about 200 metres away from the land we
live in, we were circling the volcano island then we just swam as fast as
we could. we heard really loud rumbles so we went super fast.

we could. we heard really loud rumbles so we went super fast.
Then we hear Super loud roars coming from the volcano and we see
big lava bubbles coming out of the top of it then all we see is lava flowing
out of the volcano, Then lava bursts out and flies right next to us, It hits the
water right next to us and a massive wave comes up to us “THIS IS SUPER
SCARY” we keep getting blown away by the wave.

Then it dies down we are again in the middle of nowhere, now we cant see
the volcano island or the island we live on, we came up to another island we
have trees and rocks on the island.
the volcano island or the island we live on, we came up to another island we
have trees and rocks on the island.
We are going to need to try and make a shelter so we all get out rocks and
hit the trees, then they fall over and we can hit some fish with the rocks to kill
them to get food so that's what we do, we go into the water and hit the fish as
hard as we can, there's our meat
hit the trees, then they fall over and we can hit some fish with the rocks to kill
them to get food so that's what we do, we go into the water and hit the fish as
hard as we can, there's our meat
We get sticks and rocks and we make a fire with them, then we make a little
stand made of rocks and cook the fish so we can eat them, we were super
hungry before we ate them, Then we made a tiny hut out of the trees, It is
nearly night time at that moment, but there is lots of Rusty metal here,
someone has been here but they probably came here ages ago because the
metal is super rusty, we got out rocks and scraped most of the rusty bits off, it
looked like the shape of a bit of a car, but what bit, “maybe it's the Bonnet”
Jesse said. It's super cold out here Tj said.

We didn't know what to do. Maybe someone else is here somewhere,
we searched almost the whole island and no one was here. We thought that,
because there were really loud sounds coming from the woods we had to go
look then we realised there is a super massive monster sleeping, We snack
away and the monster woke up, He looked really friendly, he smiled at us, we
were happy he hasn’t eaten us YET but he looks happy, we gave it some food,
he looked super happy, He was Super massive.
