Matariki

            What do you know about Matariki?                                                                                            Matariki is a cluster of stars named Matariki. Many Iwi celebrate Matariki many diffrent ways.    

When the people from long long ago would use the stars to see what type of season it was going to be. Every year in late May or late June. If it was going to be a good season the stars would be shiny. 

A constellation is a group of stars forming a recognizable pattern. 


If I had to list two ways Maori people celebrate Matariki these are the things I would do:
  
1. Have a big feast (hangi)
2. Go to the beach and look at the stars

During Matariki, people celebrate with music , songs, dancing, food and family.

Maori also tell legions to the whanau.

My family celebrates Christmas together.

THAT IS THE END OF MY MATARIKI HUI!!      

  

France

Bonjour. Did you know in France they only have one language and that is ……. French. But if some people are smart enough they can also speak English. Salut and Au revoir mean goodbye in French. In their language thanks is merci. Comment allez-vous means how are you? 

In France the foods that they most like to eat are Baguette (French Bread), Soupe à l'Oignon Gratinée (Onion Soup), and Croque-Monsieur (Ham and Cheese Sandwich). 

The population in France is heaps more than us here in New Zealand, it is 65.2 million! France is located in Europe. France's Capital is Paris, with 2.2 million inhabitants. France's flag is red, blue and white.  

Au revoir and thanks for reading!

On the 25th of April the A.N.Z.A.C soldiers landed in the wrong spot, there was Chaos and confusion. The place they landed was called A.N.Z.A.C Cove. Up in the hills there were the Turks that were shooting the soldiers. Thousands died.The water was red from all their blood.

CAMP

At our camp at night, I could hear the sound of crickets singing us a bed time story.

When there was a cricket in the room I saw Porsha's reaction, "AAHH!!" she cried. 

I wondered if we would come back? 

When we had Ice-cream for breaky I felt as lucky as a rich person.
