My holiday recount
To me, The holidays went as fast as a race car. When it was the last day of my break from school, I went to the rainbows end! I went to Rainbow's End because it was my cousin's fifth birthday.
At the beginning of the day I got dressed, brushed my teeth, did my hair then hopped in the car, after that we were on the road.
When I got to the rainbows end, I walked in with my cousins present overjoyed with happiness. I went inside a room that was filled with frozen themed paintings, and there I saw her birthday cake. It had lots of white snowflakes with Elsa and her dress in the middle. It was so beautiful.
Later on we went on a ride that was so scary and it was called power surge. When I hopped on the ride the straps came down and I buckled myself in, then I went off the ground and I started spinning around, I even went upside down. It was so scary. After that we went on other rides.
After going on so many rides it was time to go home. I said goodbye to my auntys, uncles and cousins then left to go home.
Overall, my holiday was a blast. I cannot wait for the next holiday!

Matariki Dictogloss
Matariki is the Maroi name for the cluster of stars known as pleiades, it is also the Maori new year. It is a time to catch fish, plant trees, harvest food, sing, dance,fly kites and to remember those who have died in the last year.ADuring Matariki you can see the stars for most of the year, but then they disappear in late April, stars appear in mid winter.
Matariki means the eyes of God or little eyes. The myth of Matariki is that Ranginui the Sky Father and Papatuanuku the Earth mother, were separated by their children. Tawhiri matea became so angry that he tore out his eyes and threw them into the heavens. In other stories Matariki is the oldest sister that guides her other sisters.
Matariki was once popular in the 1940s but then they stopped. It was then brought back in the early 2000s. Only a few took part, but after a few years thousands of people honoured Matariki day.
The names of Matariki are Waipuna rangi, Tupu a nuku, Ururangi, Hiwa i te rangi, Waiti, Tupu a nuku, Waita, Pohutukawa and lastly Matariki.

Samoan Language week
Last Friday was Samoan Language Week, and it was Miss Haslems last day at this school. In the morning before any of the guests arrived, me and Jia helped set up the chairs for the assembly. Then when the bell rang it was time to go to class. We said prayers and then later on we went to the hall to have an assembly. When it was time to go I took a glance at the parents making the food.
When we walked back to class we continued doing our work. During the day at morning tea, me and my friends checked out the umu down by the court. It had a pile of wet potato sacks, volcanic rocks, banana leaves, then the food, newspaper. It looked like a mini volcano.
When morning tea was finished we went back to go and checked out the umu. We all gathered around the umu. The parents and teachers that were helping were Ayla and Adens parents, Joseph's parents, Mr Tyrell and Mr T. They did all the cooking.
Later in the morning tea finished, we did our work and then they called us to come and see the umu because it was finished. We went down to the bottom court and we looked at the umu. It had lots of smoke coming from above. Everybody was amazed, the adults took off the covering of the food and then it was time to go and sit in the hall. We sat down then my teacher called us one by one to line up. When it was my turn I had chop suey, pork buns, luau and rice. I was hoping to pankeke but they had run out.
I sat down with my friends and we ate. The pork bun was so good , especially the meat inside of it. The chop suey tasted very nice and you could taste all the flavour of the meat. It tasted very delicious. When I finished eating I played with my friends then went home. Overall the last day of Samoan Language Week was a blast I can't wait until it comes round again

My holiday 2021
I had an amazing time on Sunday while going to church. The main reason why I was at church was because it was White Sunday. White Sunday is a national holiday for some Pacific countries. Every year I have to say a hymn in Tongan up on the stage, but sadly last year I could not because it was lock down. I was so afraid but happy because I was saying it for my family.
In the morning about 10:30am I got ready and went to my nana's house, to put on my dress and accessories, such as a Ta'ovala (a Ta’ovala is a traditional mat that is made by hand. It takes hard work to make it, that is why it usually costs about 100 dollars or more). The dress I wore was my Mum’s dress when she was my age or older. It had a bow on it and it had flowers at the bottom of the dress. When I got dressed it looked like I was turned into a princess.
When it was about 11:40AM we went to church. When me and my Mum got there we stood at the back for a little while, but then I got called to sit down near the front. I sat there for quite a bit but then I got told to go on stage. When I went on stage I was the last person to say my hymn. There were fourteen people before so I had some time to practise in my head. When the microphone was in my hand I got scared and I didn’t want to say anything, but then realised that if I did that I would disappoint my family. I said my hymn loud and clear. (What I said up on stage in Tongan was “Ko e ngahi me’a nae mole mua he hinga hotau uluaki e toe omi he otua otufa he fanau tama ni”. My speech was about how Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate the apple. My family was so proud of me and some people even said that I should go to Sunday school because I am really good at speaking Tongan. I felt really proud of myself too and I was also relieved because now, I don't have to practise night after night trying to perfect my hymn.
After I said my speech we stayed there for about 1 hour and 30 minutes singing songs and hearing other kids saying their hymn. Afterwards me and my family went to eat KFC and then the day ended. Overall my day was nice and calming. I cannot wait until the next holidays!
