Matariki



3/6/11

Today was Matariki day its a new year and new begging for the maori. It was also honoring the year 8's witch is us! :)

We had to be at school by 20 to 7 am! we all thought it was going to be cold but surprisingly it wasn't. But we till had to were our gumboots. At 5 to7 all the year 8's had to line up and walk down to the end of the field and the junior Kapa Haka were calling us down wail one of our senior kapa Haka girls were calling us up it was really cool. Then they did the haka for us and then our principle did a speech wail the boom fire was going out. Then our head girl and boy planted a tree each on behalf of all of the year 8's and then we sang some songs. After all of that we got to have a sausage sizzle witch Mr. Preston left at his place so he had to go back home and get the sausages (typical). But later on we got some they were yum! Then we stayed at school till it started it was really fun we were playing netball against the boys, the girls won!! :) So that was the Matariki day for us now i'm really tired from getting up at 6 and going to school we have ripper rugby soon ahhh!!! I'm going to be so tired after school!!
