Visiting Storyteller

The storyteller was musical and he showed us how to play the instruments. It was funny and I laughed.

We went to Tui classroom. A Maori person (storyteller) came. He was really good at playing musical instruments. He read a book to us about a lolly tree.

On Thursday I went to the storyteller and it was amazing. I liked his musical instruments. I liked how he did the sun with the string and we did a poem. He had a bird bone and he blew into a shell. He told a story.

Today a storyteller came to our school. He played all his musical instruments for us. He stayed for one hour. The storyteller’s name was Apirana Taylor. He was a musician, an actor, a painter and a storyteller. He read us a book with a story called The Lolly Tree. His music was beautiful. I loved it!

He made a sun out of string. He used string to tell us a story about a boy and a grandma. Once there was a sun- not a good sun. The sun was always silly. It went too slowly and too quickly. People got angry with the sun. So they captured the sun. One of them said “Behave yourself”.
