My holiday

During the school holiday's I went to a cousin's 21st birthday. My mum said, "everyone get ready we're going to Misy's 21st", then we all replied, "okay mum". So once we got everything ready my mum said to me and Agcym that we should do a dance for him so we did. We decided to do a Samoan dance for him since there aren't that many people at the birthday that is Samoan. So after we practised the dance last minute we had to leave or we would be late for the birthday. Once we arrived at the birthday we ate some food blew out the cake. After that me and Agcym had to rush to the bathroom and get everything ready we had to put our outfit on, then we had to put oil on, after that, we did our lipstick (we put it on our cheeks). Then we went out and did our dance. 
That day was so fun and nerve-racking.

The Matariki

Matariki is the 7 sisters. Waiti is the fresh water and the food that is in it. Waita is the sea water and food that lives in it. Waipunarangi is the water in the sky. Rain falling from the sky from the sacred sky. Tupuanuku has food growing in Papatuanuku - Mother Earth. Tupuarangi has food growing in the ngahere, up in the tree. Tane's domain. Tree's, birds and berries. Ururangi is the wind. Pohutukawa is the people who have passed away. Hiwaiterangi is wishing dreaming star. Hopes and inspiration. Matariki is a gathering of people and whanau. Reflection. The environment.
