Matariki Celebration

On Friday we had a hangi and we had a Matariki display. Before the haungi started we were looking at the different displays in each class. In each class there were kids that told us about what the displays are about. All the displays were creative Room 6 were doing the gods of the sky, the ground, the plants and all of that. My favorite class display was room 6 because it was so creative there were doing it for two or three days to finish it. I really liked it because they were using kebab sticks to keep it creative.

Next we went to Rooms 2 and 3. They made fish shape letters. It was creative for the ages of 5 years old kids because they are small so I was surprised that they were so neat at coloring. Then I thought that my favorite displays from the junior’s were room 3 and 2. after we went back to our class. After that we did padlet when we do padlet we sometimes do little but most of the time we do lots because our teacher tells us to. 

After we were done our padlet the bell rang. Then after we had to go to the restroom. When we were finished in the restroom we walked in the hall to have our hangi. After we had our hangi we had a little play on the junior park because the senior park wasn't built yet so we had to play on the juniors playground playing on a playground felt like a long time because our old senior playground was big like the juniors but ours didn’t have a slide or balance beam or a spinning monkey bars or lots of stuff like that.

Finally the bell rang then we went back into the hall to have assemble because it was friday and every friday we have assembled but sometimes we don’t have assemble because Mr. Hendricks is in an important meeting. But we did have assemble because Mr. Hendricks wasn’t having a meeting and in plus it was friday and that was Matariki celebration so then the parents stayed for assemble and after Mr. Hendricks finished his speech so than Ms.Tu'akoi came up and she had three or four books in her hand and she said that the people that are getting the books are because of how hard they worked in class and how hard they have been doing it then the next teacher came and told who was going to get the book award.

After that all of the teachers were finished so the Matariki Celebration was over but it wasn’t yet because people were still celebrating Matariki.

I felt so happy because we had a hangi.
