Mary Celeste Writing

 I have been learning to add detail to my writing to  make the reader want to read more. Something that challenged me was writing like I was on the boat. listen carefully to my story.

Totara Tree

We are called Totara Whanau because the Totara tree is our symbol and we are family who learn together,we had to work in groups to paint a small  branch. We all had to work as a team to get the branch finished. when we were all done painting we went into the hall to share our creations and we combined together to make our branches into a tree. This tree is uniqe to Totara whanau.
