This Pukapuka was all about a sea Witch that helped other sea creatures. 

My favourite character was the Sea Witch - She reminded me of Mana Tangata and Kaitiakitanga because in this Pukapuka it shows that she helps other sea creatures from the evil mermaid that tries to kill the sea creatures and eat them. My favorite part was when the pukapuka says that every time she protects the sea creatures, she keeps a smile on her face throughout good and bad - That has Inspired me because I don’t really smile because some of the girls in my school are kaka bums hehe so I don’t really smile around them, but this has made me think, and in my own words this is like saying smile even if something is bugging you because frowning isn’t going to get you anywhere so I really enjoyed reading this Pukapuka and I will try my hardest to smile everyday. 



Kupu hou: Malaise, Non sequitur, Obfuscate, Perfunctory, Quid Pro Quo, Scintillating, Cacophony, Ennui, Aquiver, Glib, Umbarge, Vamoose, Ubiqitous.

Rating: 10/10

I am Rating this Pukapuka a 10 because in some of the sentences there are like secret messages and some of them really inspired me a lot.

What I am doing this lock down

 this lock down I am planning to finish all my Mahi on time and send it before the day it is due, this lock down I have learnt how to cook pancakes with out it being burnt. I am currently helping my mum lock after my baby brother because lately she is working as a nurse and is always busy. I find it fun because he is a easy baby to look after. My family has become closer, now we watch one or two movies every night, and in the morning me my mum and sister have been baking breakfast and dinner together, we have also been play board games and been having drawing competition's. Mostly my step dad would win because he once was an artist working for te oro in Gi (Glenn innes) We started to do karakia every night to ask the lord above to protect, right now currently I am doing home work my brother is fast asleep and my mum is making us dinner. 
What have you done so far in lock down??
