Matariki

Last week on Friday Pt England School had a big event, It was a Matariki day.

Matariki is about celebrating the Maori New Year.

In the sky at night from 13 - 16 July you can see 7 - 9 stars. 

My highlight from the Matariki day was play sports over and over again. I forgot the name of the game but it seemed really fun.

The whole New Zealand should copy Gleen Innes and put up some matariki lights, It would look really cool the whole country would be glowing and the reason why we should celebrate it is because of people, culture, language, spirituality and history. Matariki is also when you get together with your family and friends, watch Kapa Haka  performance, Talk to others about the past history and lots more.

Hopefully you know some celebration facts of matariki it would be really cool to learn it.

2.We go to a park or a batting cage to go train for my softball season at the end of the year.

3. We do a Hygiene routine for our health and to keep clean. 

4. My dad and mum makes sure we all have a bath/shower and brush our teeth to look tidy and fresh.

Taha Whanau/ Games at home

In lock down I played a game with my big sister Roezala

Here are the rules of the game you have to hit the other person with a jandel and try hit them in the face like tag but a hard way.I won because I got the tip of her face.She lost because I got her in the face and because she kinda chickened out. Nope it didn't come to a draw because i'm the best at that game.
It was really fun watch my sister run away from me and watching my parents laugh at us because we were both screaming at each other. It competitive because we were actually both hiding in hiding places but we manged to find each other anyways.
