WALT write a Book Review

For the purpose of Book Review, we have named the narrator Weremu.

Weremu grew up on a Sheep Farm. He had a brother called Terei and a sister called Cherie. Weremu had a Kunikuni pet pig  named Snorky. He loved the Farm and was sad when his Mum and Dad split up. Weremu really loved his Dad and wanted to stay on the Farm. He could not stay with his Dad on the Farm so he had to go to the Wellington City with his Mum. When Werumu was in Wellington he missed the Farm, his pet Kunikuni Snorky, feeding the Lambs, watching Dad play Rugby on Saturdays, and having a joke with his Dad after the Rugby game.

When Weremu was in the city, he felt like there was no room to breathe. He had made some  friends that lived in the same lot of flats. The three kids all played musical instruments and sat together and chatted on laundry day. Weremu’s friends were Tomo and Meilai.

When Tomo, Meilai and Weremu were older, Tomo and Weremu were at college together and Meilai was in Auckland. At University, Tomo trained to be a Doctor and Weremu trained  to be a Vet. He wanted to be a Vet when he was an adult so he could work in the City or Countryside. When he grew up, he became a Vet. Weremu looked after lots of animals.
