Moāri language week is a special week that we celebrate once a year  our school does kapa haka poi we do daily hidden pātai ( questions ) and we answer the questions and then mrs Kelly will pick a person out of a bucket and then that person gets to get a prize from the school office.

 

In our school we have this group of kids then perform kapa haka a moāri dance and this morning the group performed this dance in front of the parents for the first time. The kapa haka group has been practicing for 2 terms ( 6 months ) . Their performance was incredible . Here’s the link.

 

Hangi is a traditional dish. So  it’s more of a primitive cooking, we started digging then  making a pile of wood volcanic rock and iron. We must then prepare the food (kai) Then we put the Kai in a big freezer. We wait a few hours and then we put the hot Rocks in the hole then we place the Kai on top of the rocks. We will put wet rags and then we use the dirt and we let it cook for a few hours.

 

At lunchtime there are time activities for all the kids in the school then after lunchtime the teacher packs it away for tomorrow.I think that moāri language week is a fun and stressful week because you will have to try your best to speak moāri.

 

If I went to Mars I would bring my favourite TV because if you don’t have a TV what will you do at night or when you’re bored because you can play on your PS5. When you have your PS5 you can watch Netflix YouTube and play games all day.  When it’s dinner time you can go and eat in the lounge and no one can stop you .

While I’m in Mars i’ll need to play basketball or soccer so I’ll bring a turfed court because you need to play sport so you don’t die due to heart issues and not being fit. You could have lots of fun with your friends while playing team sports.

The time has come you and your friends are vs the mars marshals ( slam dunk ) we have 2 points ( swoosh splash ) the marshals  scored a three pointer the first half is done and we’re losing. It’s time for the 2nd half. The ref threw the ball in the air and we had possession and we scored by 2 points and the ref blew the whistle and we won .

The third luxury item I would bring is friends. With friends you can do anything you can invent stuff, make cool gadgets, do whatever you want.  You can blow things up, set off fireworks and overall have fun.

My favourite bit of this trip to mars was the sports against the Mars marshals and all the games. The marshals were tall so it was a hard game overall. The best bit was the basketball.
