A Mermaid and a magic comb
The little mermaid
Once upon a time there was a young mermaid. She had seven other sisters. She was told: "When you turn sixteen you can go over the waves and see the human land". One by one the sisters went to the surface.
It was a horrible day to go sailing but the prince went anyway. Suddenly the boat hit some rocks that weren't visible. The prince was thrown into the water. The little mermaid pulled him to land and started singing to him. The next moment they were in love.
The little mermaid heard someone coming and swam away. She was still in love and wanted to marry the man with the split tail so she went to the sea witch.
I will grant your wish, but you must give me your voice and if the prince does not love you, you will return into the sea and your soul will be mine. The little mermaid agreed.
From his castle the prince could see the beach. He saw someone and ran down to see who it was.
"Hello are you alright"?
The mermaid went to speak but she did not have her voice.
"You can't speak" the little mermaid nodded her head. Come with me. A servant brought the mermaid some clothes. She slept all night long.

A Perfect Autumn Day
A Perfect Autumn Day
By Peyton
Above me are branches covered with dark red leaves.
The moon is shaped as a semicircle. Clouds are stretching left and right.
Below me is the damp grass glistening in the sunlight.
The leaves that have tumbled down are crunching beneath my feet.
In front of me is a gnarled tree, filled with yellow leaves.
The sun shining in my eyes.
Behind me is a round wooden seat.
In the middle a massive deciduous tree covered with red and yellow leaves.

Pokarekare ana
At the moment in Room 2, we are learning a Maori song that Miss J learnt as a child called Pokarekare Ana. We have just started learning this song and it is very fun to do. There is a good example on you tube we can watch and listen to as well.
Below is the link to the song
