My Family Treasure Story.

My Taonga

My taonga is about my old teddy bear. My teddy bear was a present when I was 1 year old. My teacher gave it to me as a gift because I was one of the babies that first entered the church pre school. I am very excited because my family and I still have my present after nearly 11 years.



My taonga looks big and beautiful.It doesn’t do anything but it sits beautiful on a special basket in my room. My mum made a special place for it. If someone touches my teddy bear it makes a sound like a whistle. It feels smooth because the feather is soft and the colour of my taonga is black and white.
My taonga is special to me because it is a gift from my pre-school when I was one years old. The children and teachers gave it to me on my birthday and that's why it so special. Since then, my family and I still keep that taonga on a special place in my room and I will keep it until I get married.
