Term 1 holiday

In the holidays I went to a lot of places like the Museum in the city by the Starship hospital and I went to the beach a lot of times then I went up north. for easter we stayed at home and celebrated easter then our parents gave us eggs they were so delicious after that we just hanged out and had a good time.

In the spare time I had been going to the park with my friend Stephen and we had been going to the Tamaki Recreation Centre for the holiday program and I had been hanging with my sister.

When me and Stephen were at the recreation centre I had been put into a  group our group was named O.M.G the other two were named the we Lits and Diversity we even had our own group chants.

When I first went to the holiday  program at the Recreation centre, Stephen had brought me over I had to do the same routine. We had to go to a lady with a paper to sign in then we had free time. Stephen just played basketball for our free time.

But my favourite activity was to spend time with my family. We went to Sylvia Park and many other places.

Grace joel performance

Today our school went to a rest home to perform cultural dances there were 6 performances. I was the Maori boys haka. There was also a Tongan item from the girls and the boys, as well as a Samoan Sasa and a Cook Island dance from Maara and Aaliyahnah from my class.

We went to Grace Joel on a bus. When we got there we had to walk to the reception area. Our group were the first to perform. The girls started us off with a waiata and then we did the Haka.

After our performances we were given chocolates as treats. There was so much chocolate it was great.

I enjoyed performing alongside the Kapahaka group. I also enjoyed being at the rest home because it was a beautiful place.
