Multiple Sentences

In Hur 3 we have been learning about some different sentences. We have learnt about W-Starts, Adverb Starts and Very short sentences. W-Starts is were you start with one of these words, When, Where, while and whilst. Adverb start is where you start with an adverb. The adverb or word has to end with the letters ly. A Very short sentence is just a really small sentence that gives you suspense or drama.

Here are some examples...

Very short...
The boy slowly placed the seed.
The teacher grabbed the seeds.

W-Start...
While the the teacher handed out the seeds, the students grabbed a beaker.
When he put the seed in, he Walked over to the table.

Adverb start...
Carefully, the boy put the beaker down.
Anxiously, the students waited for the seed to grow.

Tangata Whenua. Who are we Hurumanu.

Today in Hur 1 we got to watch a video. It was about Tangata Whenua. While Answering questions on the sheet we got given. Here is one of the questions. The stuff they brought to NZ was some crops like Kumara, taro and mullberries. It was hard to hear the answers so the teacher/'s wrote it down on the board. It was so we didn't forget and we could find out what some of the answers were.

One of the other question was how did the Moa go extinct. They got hunted by the Moari and the rats and dogs killed the eggs. The Moa only laid one to two eggs a year. In the movie a couple chased a giant Octopus who has been stealing all their fish. They stumbled upon Aotearoa. They called it that because of the clouds in the sky above the island.

This was really fun and I would like some feedback please. It would be really helpful.
