How Nathan Slowed The Sun
By Nathan.K and Bethany
Once there was a boy called Nathan. He played all the time but the sun went too fast and the day was too short, so he had barely any time to play. So the next short day Nathan went outside and asked his sister Bethany to go with him and ask the sun to slow down. So after his sister said yes, Nathan and his sister started their journey to the sun. When they got warm feet they knew they were close but whenever they saw the sun rise it was still very far away. The next night they arrived were the sun would be able to hear them. So at sunrise they shouted out to the sun: “Hey Mr sun, can you please slow down more because there is barely any time to play.” “Well since you asked nicely I will slow down a bit.” “Thank you sun.” “No problem.” And from now on the sun slowed down and Nathan and Bethany had enough time to play.
Kia ora Nathan. Well done for completing this project with Bethany. You both worked really well together. I liked reading your retelling of this legend. I thought it was fun how you changed the story and had you and Bethany in the story. The artwork you created is impressive. I like how you have the sun rising up against the night sky with the Matariki stars. It is like the sun is rising very early in the morning when most of the sky is still dark. I also liked the harakeke ropes you made and the rocks that you painted and stuck on. Ka pai tō mahi!
