Matariki festival By Sekope

On Thursday morning we had a normal first block.

Then we gathered in the hall with the other schools.

The schools were Glenbrae, Best start Apirana, Pt England, Glendowie school and Team Koru.

First the Kapa Haka group from GTS performed really good and all the other schools did really well.

After that me and my friends went to the food truck the line was very long.

I ordered chips and L and P.

Next I walked to Oscar then sat down with him. 

After I asked Oscar how is your day he said it’s been going good.

Later I went to go play ki-o-rahi with my friends. It was fun and hot. Soon I went to the food truck and bought drinks for me and my mum.

I had an awesome day because we saw other schools  perform

 

Why is it important to celebrate Maori Language Week

Why is it important to celebrate Maori Language week

So we can be passionate about our identity and culture 

It is important to be proud.

You know if you see the kiwis run out onto the field run with pride because they will be playing for their whanau, ancestors and culture.

If you watch the kiwis when they perform their haka they have the confidence 

My Tapa Cloth art By sekope

 We did Tapa cloths because it is Tongan Language week. First we used hard paper and then designed our pattern. Next day we dyed our tapa cloths and it looked outstanding. This is the Tongan theme

E tu’uloa ‘a e Lea faka-Tongá ‘o ka lea’aki ‘i ‘api, siasí (lotú), mo e nofo-‘a-kāingá; which means the Tongan Language will be sustainable if used at home, church and in the wider community.

Story of my name by Sekope

I did this because our class watched a video  about a girl getting mocked and bullied about her name and her name was Unhei and she was korean but when she moved to the states she was in tears after her mum and Unhei went shopping then her mum said we can’t just stop eating korean food just because we are in the states.

I think that the mum wants to be unique and to be confident about her identity.

My Best Trip to Australia. By sekope

During the holiday I went to Australia for a wedding. 

 

First me and my mum were getting ready to board so we could sit on the massive plane.

 

I started watching Paw Patrol.

The plane flew fiercely off the ground then I started eating dorito it was nice and spicy and sweet. After that we landed like an escalator, then we walked with happiness of the plane.

 

Afterwards, I walked excitedly ! out the door after we got picked up by my mom’s cousin.

Then they drove us to their house.

                                                                

My favorite part was watching horror movies because me and                                                            my cousin would always link up whenever there was a jump scare part. The end
