Matariki Celebration

Yesterday on Wednesday we had a Matariki celebration with the whole school. We did the Matariki celebration in the juniors. We sat on the benches. First some teachers spoke. Then there were performances. The first performance was the senior kapa haka. They did some dances and they also sang some songs. After it was the junior kapa haka. They also did some dances and songs. Once it was junior kapa haka three boys from our school and Mr. Matt did the drums. Then it was the ukulele group. There was only three girls and Whai Odie who did the ukulele. After it was the pacifica group. Three men did the drums for the pacifica group. They were really good. I think all the performances were awesome and they all were brave to show their performances to the school. They also just started last term and are very good. They practised a lot for the Matariki Celebration. Once all the performances were done the juniors had to line up on the right and the seniors had to line up on the left. We all got sausages. The vegetarians had to go to the kitchen to get sausages. I had to go to the kitchen because I am vegetarian. We had to get bread and Whai Odie put a sausage on our bread. We put some tomato sauce on our sausage. I had two sausages because it was yummy. I had a lot of fun yesterday celebrating Matariki. Whai Odie thought of doing the Matariki celebration and I think that Whai Odie is a amazing Maori teacher.
