My Home Town

This is Point England, There is a school and a beach that you can amazingly visit during your stay.

The locals are very kind and greet you with a wave. 
This is my HomeTown where i lived for a year since i've moved from Glen Innes.

Here is 3 places you should visit.
#1
The Beach is awesome, you can jump off a mighty rock or go out fishing in the fishing area. 
it is mostly used by families, since it is a good place to spend time together or with just friends. 
it's really a active place where people eat with there food or play in the sea. 

 #2
Chinese 4 star takeaways - Point England.
These takeaways are amazing,served quick and taste delicious. I know because I'm friends with the amazing owners and loved there food they cook. might be one of the best places of all. Come down to Chinese food and fish and chips in point england reserve where every local loves the chips.

there isn't a lot to see in PointEngland, But there will be more i swear.
Thanks For Reading Have a Great Holiday!

Special Events - How Does Your Family Celebrate it??


On Special events like: Halloween and Christmas - Who cares about birthdays am i right? lets just get lots of presents on christmas and lollies on halloween. #Best2EventsEver. just kidding, don't take me seriously guy. but really those two are the best ;)

Lets talk about Christmas. It is where everyone comes together and celebrate the meaning of family and not only giving love but also receiving love in the presents you recieve.

For lots of people they involve culture into it by cooking and bringing traditional foods. Sadly my family isn't like that. But we make home made food. what isn't better then cooking food that you love to make with your family. To be honest it tastes way better then buying stuff from the Pizza shop or take aways.

Most events we make home made food except Halloween,Easter and Birthdays. We buy chocolate eggs and chocolates,Candies and birthday cakes and presents.

This is another task I have done during my holidays. Hope everyone  was safe on Christmas and New Years.

Hope to see you all in 2 more weeks.

Maori Phrases Translated Into English

As we all know, maori men and women settled here long ago before the british men and women found this mighty land and tried to claim it. we all know who would win in a fight, *cough* Maori People, just joking... or am i? ;).

Anyway maori and british men and women never got along because of language differences but eventually made a treaty of waitangi to make rights towards maori and british people.
Now the Maori are very outnumbered by different cultures from around the world.
but people are still skeen to learn some maori or a lot of maori now and then.
here the are phrases.

Nau mai ki Aotearoa is a welcoming phrase which means "Welcome to Aotearoa"

____ is my name is an introduction/greeting phrase that includes your name meaning Ko Paris toku ingoa in maori.

What is your name? this phrase is translate to He Aha to ingoa in maori

He pai taku ki te takaro i te whutupaoro, this is translated to I like to play rugby in english.
  1. Where do you come from? is translated to no hea koe? in maori.

I have tried my best to translate them all.

Poi Rakau - Maori Traditional Game

The Maori Game I Chose to talk about is Poi Rakau, This game I have played at school. it was an awesome experience and everyone enjoyed themselves. I recommend everyone trying out this game because of its awesome type of playing style. Here is the link to the game if you want to watch it again. https://www.r2r.org.nz/games-activities-maori-youth/poi-rakau.html

The name of the game is Poi Rakau

The main goal is improving hand eye coordination and also increasing confidence around rākau. Dont forget to have thought ;).

The 2 rules are:

  1. the rākau placed standing up on the ground and wait for Maui/Matou to be called out. The players leave their rākau and move quickly to the left or right trying to catch the rākau before it touches the ground.
  2. A player can be out if they don't catch the next rākau or make a bad pass (where the other player has NO chance of getting to the rākau before it hits the ground or is poorly stood up).


The Waiata - A Song in Your Heart - Tutira Mai Nga Iwi

Tutira Mai Nga Iwi is a coming together & supporting waiata for everyone to join and sing along in.
This waiata is the most used around the country, since it is a waiata of being people together and is a showing of love and dedication.

At my old school: Tamaki Primary, This waiata was an amazing and special song that everyone loved to sing, even when going to trips. Since our school is all about Originality and Culture. Maori,Samoan,Tongan,Fijian and Cook Island songs/waiatas are sung at special occasions but the most sung is Tutira Mai Nga Iwi.

I Love this song because it warms my heart to see everyone singing to it, and because i love laughing deep inside my heart about how the boys sing real loud and go off key.

if you want to hear and listen to this inspiring song here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxorRtINRTc :D Merry Christmas and Happy New year :)
