Matariki recap

                                 Na Tiare

          

It was the 24th of July the Matariki Festival was finally going on and our class was hosting this event. 

I was one of the stall holders. I was selling fry bread with my mum. We had the most popular stall  and it was not long before we had sold out.

Mum packed our stall down while I went and brought food. I had fried bread. It tasted bland but the bread had a nice and crunchy to bite to it. Afterwards I had sampled donuts which were very tasty but slightly burnt.

My experience of this event was very good. The entertainment was kapa haka by us, JP2 and Hokitika Primary school . The cool little band were on for half an hour and performed just before karakia whakamutunga
The band consisted of 3 musicians and the crowd really seemed to enjoy their range of music.          

 I was in one of the kapa haka groups. We finished `our bracket and watched another group. I played a bit of    spotlight after then, my mum called me, it was time to leave.

 I will never forget that night and have some really cool memories.

Thank you to all the kaihaka, kaiwaiata, stall holders, Runanga Tauira, WHS staff, our caretaker Vince, whānau and friends of J Te Reo/FTA
