The class created a story around mullet being caught at the mouth of the Oruaiti river in nets.
It was a good day to catch some kanae raukura before school. H and P were getting the net out to catch some kanae raukura. They packed the jet skis and the net on the trailer and headed for the Oruaiti awa. It was an incoming tide and they got out and saw lots and lots of kanae raukura. They unloaded the jet skis and slipped them into the water, making sure the net was spread out.
The kanae raukura were hungry. They swam to the mangroves to eat the dead plants. Suddenly, all the kanae raukura were in the net! One of the kanae raukura nibbled on the net and made a hole. The kanae raukura told the others to get out but only 5 did.
H and P saw the hole so they bought the net in. They slipped the mullet into a bucket.
