How the Kiwi Lost it’s Wings

A story created by Room One through Freeze Frame

Group One

How am I going to get rid of all these bugs and save the

trees?

We want to stay in the trees where we can enjoy the sunshine.

Brave kiwi. All the other animals are selfish.

I will do anything to save my

home.

Thank you kiwi for saving the forest.

Now I have to have a white feather under my

throat to show I am a coward.

I have to give up the sun and live in the dark of the night.

Group Two

I am happy living in the trees and

singing all day.

I will live on the forest floor and eat the bugs so I can save the forest

for Tanemahuta.

Tui you will be punished for not helping save the

forest.

Group

Three

I am kiwi, the most beautiful bird of them all, flying through

the ski.

Who will move to the forest floor to save the forest?

We won’t.

I gave up my home in the trees to save the forest.

Kiwi I am proud of you. You are not selfish like the other birds.

Group

Four

How did you loose your wings kiwi?

I will tell you but it’s a long

story…

I lived in the trees and Tanemahuta asked us ‘who will save the forest’ and the other

birds didn’t want to help.

I said I would live

on the forest floor so I lost

my wings and learnt to

eat bugs.

You other birds will be punished for not helping save the forest.
