Rachael had to walk to school by herself for the first time. She carefully checked driveways for cars before crossing and waited at a crossing with lights for the road patroller's signal to cross the busy road safely. Rachael then joined her friends and they walked to school together.

2. One morning when Rachael was getting
ready for school, her mum told her that
she would be walking to school by
herself for the first time.

3. She would be doing this because her
sister was feeling sick. Rachael was
quite daunted by this news, as she had
to walk past two sneaky driveways and
across a busy main road.

4. After walking on the footpath for quite
some time Rachael came to the sneaky
driveway. First she listened for cars.
Next she peeked around the wall to
look for cars.

5. When she saw that there were no cars
coming out of the driveway she moved onto
the next driveway.

6. She did the same check on this driveway
but this time there was a car (motaka) !
Rachael waited for the car to back out of
the driveway and then she carried on
walking.

7. “Phew that was close just as well I
listened (whakarongo) and looked
(titiro),” said Rachael.

8. Rachael walked on until she came to the
busy road. Rachael saw that further down
the road there was a set of lights. She
decided that it would be a much safer
option to walk the short distance to the
lights than be hit by a car ( motaka)!

9. When she got to the lights she noticed that
there was a road patrol out. The road
patroller pressed the button on the light
and the red man popped up on the light at
the other side. Rachael picked up a flag
and waited for the man to go green.

10. As soon as the man on the light turned
green the road patroller yelled, “Cross
now!” Rachael walked across the crossing
then joined up with her friends.

11. They walked the rest of the way to
school together where their first lesson
was learning the colours of the rainbow
in Te Reo Maori.
