It was a cool and windy morning.When all of the kids were excited for Matariki. Everyone was so excited to see some stars and learn about Matariki.
On Monday we went down to room 10 to make some bread.We first had half of room 15 to go down to room 10 and half if room 10 to come down to room 15.Some of us were excited to taste some nice and delicious bread.We had Mrs keys in room 10 teaching us to make bread and Mrs Barton in room 5 doing some crafting.I first went down to room 10 and Mrs Keys welcomed us in.We all took a seat and started to learn how to make bread.Mrs Keys first got some flour,Baking powder and some boiling hot water. She's first had some people to put 5 cups of flour into a bowl.Then she had another person to put 10 tea spoon of baking powder inside the bowl.She said if we are going to put 1 cup of flower then 2 teaspoon of baking powder.Then she added some boiling water then she mixed it.She mixed it until it was smooth.Then she turned on the frying pad and started to pour in the ingredients that we made.After it was cooked we let it cool down and then we put some yummy fresh butter and spreaded them onto our delicious bread.I could smell the bread.When I first tasted it,it was yum and amazing.
After that we had a quick switch the kids that were in room 15 comes down to room 10 to bake some bread and the kids that were in room 10 comes down to room 15 and make some stars and do some crafting.When I got to room 15,my class i was so excited to makes some Matariki stars with half of room 10.First of all my teacher Mrs Barton was explaining the things we have to do.Then we had to grab a buddy and start to share our Chromebooks with the little kids.We had to get a buddy to work with.The we all got a colored pieces of paper then I helped my buddy to make a star because they were so stuck on making the Matariki stars.When all of us finished we all put it in a pile on a table.
Then it was Friday. The day where everyone celebrate Matariki. The kapa haka kids were gonna perform in the hall.After morning tea it was assembly every gathered together in the hall to celebrate Matariki. All of the classes all brang there kites that they made during Matariki week.When everybody walked in we had the kapa haka group on stage and the hall was decorated beautifully.I was in the kapa haka group by the way we had lots of songs to sing.I was so excited to sing the Matariki song.When it was time to sing the Matariki song everybody started to sing a long.The song goes like this.
Song:
Tena koutou
Matariki
Kimokimo mai
e te range e
Kake tea koe e ou
hari koa taku nga kou
no te mea he tohu aroha
Anei matou
o tamariki nei
e mihi atu
no mai haere mai
hoki mai
tohu tea,te,tou,hou
After the song and the assembly we all went down to the courts and flyed our kites.It was so crowded with lots of kids and some kite got riped because everybody kite was stuck.
That was the end of Matariki week.I was so tired and exhausted.I found Matariki so fun.My favourite part was when we flyed our kites in the fresh windy air.

Samoan language week
Samoan Language week
2 week ago was Samoan Language week.All of the Samoan kids came on Monday wearing there nice dress.The Samoan Bilingual classes and the teachers decided to bring all of the classes in May Road School to come to the hall because they planned to do taste of Samoa.
On a Monday morning we were learning about Koko. Where the Koko comes from,How they were made and what they do with the Koko.I learnt that the chocolate inside the Koko comes out from a Cacao tree that is build in a plantation.So they get the pods from the Cacao tree and the beans inside they cook it until it is dryed. When they are dryed they crunch the beans util they are smooth and when they are like a powder.Then they add some boiling water into the powder and some sugar,then add some milk into it and then you are able to drink the delicious Koko.In the book that we read had said you can make the koko and sell them to the Saturday market or give them to the chocolate factory.
After lunch we heard that we were next to go down to the hall to taste some amazing Koko and how they are made in real life.Everyone in room 15 rushed out the door and went inside the hall.We first got into groups of four and went to different section.The first section that me and my group stop at was section three.That section had necklaces,Big massive bowls,jewellery,Samoan broom and other Samoan stuff.Section 4,section 4 was 2 boys teaching us where the taro come out from and how they peal it.I got a turn to have a little chance to peal the taro.Section 5,section five was the final time to get a little taste of the Koko. I saw how they crunch the Koko and how they do the Koko. The Koko was pretty yum.Section 1,section one was girls talking about how they can make necklace,earrings and other things with coconut.Section 2,section 2 was nice,James was teaching us how to get the white yum thing inside the coconut.I got to taste it .
It was Friday were all the Samoan culture put on there dancing clothes and start to put on a performance for us at assembly.We all got our camera out and started to take some photo's and video.I could not believe my eyes as I saw one of the most lovely costume I ever saw out of the Samoan clothes.She had a tapa cloth around her waste and wore a Samoan head band thing around her head.This head band had some decoration on it.It has a mirror ,fluffy feathers and some shells on it.
That was the busy day of Samoan language week.I had the funniest day of my life.I wish I could see and taste some Samoan stuff again sometimes.That was the end of Samoan language week.
Book week
Book week
firstly when we went to the library on Tuesday I saw lots and lots of fun activities that we could do. all over 15 jump in the library and play the game. As Soon as I saw Counting how many Olaf are there.I started to play it.It took me a long time to find all of the Olaf that are hiding in the library.I wrote my answer down on a piece of paper and put it inside the box.Some of the activities were hard.One of the activities I thought was hard was hide and seek.We had to find what was the difference between the two pictures.All of the activities that Andrea spent her time was pretty nice and good for us to do.
Then it was Friday the day where all of the kids wear there beautiful costume.I thought my friends costume was the nicest.She became a doctor.I went around the school looking at kids costume it was pretty nice and cool.But I got a bit jealous of some of there costume.When it was assembly time I was so excited.When I first step into the hall I had a big smile on my face.The assembly was Decorated so fantastic and neat.Andrea decorated the hall so pretty.There was some shows at the assembly.We got to sing the Duffy song and some other song.At the end Andrea planned to show us a play from the book that she wrote.The play was amazing and so so funny.
