Maori Language Week

using my spelling words/phrases i created this story for maori language week...

"Ata marie" i said
"Ata marie" said my whanau. today was the first day of term 3 at school, i was very excited because my new friend lisa was starting at my school!

i got to school and met up with lisa, we went into class and sat down.
"Ata marie class"
"Ata marie mr woody"
"ko wai to hoa?" asked mr woody
"ko lisa taku hoa" i replied.

mr woody said we were going to have a fun day today because lisa was starting. so we worked and we played, and we danced and we sung untill... "BRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG" THE BELL WENT! we were having so much fun that we didn't see what time it was.
"po marie class"
"po marie mr woody"
"ka kite ano" shouted mr woody

i got home and started making dinner. after about half an hour dinner was ready.
"haere mai kite kai!" i shouted. everyone took their plates an sat down to dinner as a whanau. we ate a yummy meal and before i new it everyone was finished. everyone helped me clean up and soon it was time for bed.
"good night"i said to my whanau
"good night" my whanau said back.

My marae!


This is my marae in pirongia. it is not very far away from kawhia.
The name of it is purekireki and it means alot to me...
it has alot of beautiful carvings inside that represent our ancestors.
the carvings are very "detailed" and they are very interesting to look at.
that's all for now have fun holidays!
bye catarara :)
