Positivity

Positivity is the colour of a gorgeous pink Rose .

It smells like my mums beautiful scented perfume.

It tastes like a nutella filled donut oozing out onto my fingers.

It sounds like people laughing gleefully.

It feels like christmas time when I see my whanau.

It looks like people having an amazing time at the beach.

It lives in the heart of every human being.

THE

EXTRAORDINARY RIDE!!

The wind rushed through her hair as she descended the mountain at great speed. For most children this would be an exhilarating, even terrifying  experience, but for Hannah it was just a ordinary journey to school…..

Hannah lives in the forest with her Mum, her Dad & her dog Lucy. Hannah was the only child she did not mind. Hannah and her family lived near a village named Karaka. Hannah did not have many friends. She was a chilled kid. Hannah is ten years old. “Bye Mum Im of to school” shouted Hannah. “OK sweety stay safe & eat healthy” shouted Mum back to Hannah. Hannah’s journey began. The toughest part of Hannah’s journey was…. The hike. The hike of 1 of the biggest ,most tiring mountains in the forest. “Im nearly there” said Hannah puffed. At the top is the most magical zip line. Hannah was at top! “My wish has come true. “All that hiking should pay this off” Hannah whispered to herself. Hannah climbed onto the bean bag that was surrounded by white netting. She pushed the button to make the magic zip line go. The wind rushed through her hair as she descended the mountain at great speed. The village was at the bottom of the mountain. Hannah ran the rest of the way to school. She signed in at the office cause she may be a little late. “ Hey there am I a little late” asked  Hannah politely. “ Hannah right schools closed today. So back off” the office lady said disrespectfully. Hannah walked off sadly. She couldn't believe the way she got treated. She pushed the button again for the magical zip line. She scattered down the other side of mountain like a lost cat. She told her Mum and Dad what had happen. Her Dad rung Karaka school “ My daughter Hannah will not be attend-ending Karaka area school no longer” SHOUTED Hannah's Dad  on the phone. “Hannah you are going to a new in Waikato and your Mum & I have been talking about moving there too!” said Dad excitedly. “Really! That’s amazing!! But what about this what about the hut and Lucy” said Hannah. “Were going to live in a hut similar to this in the forest and we we'll take down the zip line as we’ll” said Dad. “We are leaving next week.” said Dad. “YESSSSSS this is the best time of my life my life!!” shouted Hannah.             THE END

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!!
