Tohunga

HOW TOHUNGA HELPED
Jacinda and all the others are heroes because they helped us by preventing the spread of Covid 19. Tohunga is the same as all of the covid heroes because he saved the town from many deaths and an earthquake which demolished the town. If Tohunga had not been there then people would have died. Many people would have died along with the town. And it was all because he spoke up when danger was near.








TURI’S TWO DIARY ENTRIES…
Today an old man walked past me as we were playing old man rorirori which was sort of like a game of tag. The man had loads of wrinkles, Dad always told me the more wrinkles you have the wiser you are. So by cricket that man must have heaps of brains. Dad told us off and made me and my cousins sit on chairs until he came out of the shop. But when he came out of the shop dad did a hongi with him and gave him some of our fruit. On the way home dad was talking to us about all this boring stuff.



Today that same man walked up onto the stage and gave an uninvited speech about why we should get out of the town and flee to hills or loads of us will die. The principal finally got him off the stage and when the band started to play the man came up to me and he told me to tell all of the school that we needed to evacuate. I tried to say no. Cos I get really scared but he told me to dig deep and find courage. And I did. Because of my courage the whole town was safe from an earthquake and a tsunami.
