On Tuesday, two weeks ago, everyone brought their swiming togs, a towel and goggles for swiming. I did not birng my swiming sutff because I was sick and sad. We had to catch the bus across town to a pool near Mt Wellington. The instructors were very good and friendly. I did manage to have some lessons but not all. I enjoy swimming and hope I can do mjore next year.
Earlier this month we celebrated Matariki which is on July 14th. Matariki is a public holiday for everyone in New Zealand. We weree also on school holiday. Matariki means the eyes of god and it is always celebrated in mid winter and it is the beginning of the new year for the maori people. Matariki are 9 special stars around us. Matariki are star clusters in the early morning just before the sun comes up. My teacher said we were going to do make Matariki stars. We used cardboard that was cut into circles, a ruler, scissors and two different colours of wool. This is my star – can you guess how I made it?

Some were wearing black . After that we were ready for the ki o rahi tournament and who ever won will get a 100 fake dollar. Everyone could play too but some won and some lost and after that we were finished playing all the games. We all went under the canopy and who was the winner? It was kauri who won the ki o rahi tournament. They gave the $100 fake money to the kauri team and they were happy and all of us were laughing because the money was fake. We all changed back into our uniforms and went back to class and after that we all went home .

Last Thursday we were having ANZAC biscuits because we had celebrated ANZAC Day on Monday at home. When I looked at the ANZAC biscuit it looked crispy like a round piece of toast and hard like a brick and when I touched it it was rough and bumpy all over. Then when I ate it, it tasted like coconut and vanilla. It was so amazing and it exploded in my mouth and it smelled like ice cream and tasted very delicious and yum. The women baked the ANZAC biscuits in 1915 over one hundred years ago for their husbands and sons who were fighting far away. The ingredients are Butter and flour and golden syrup, baking soda and coconut.
