Last week we went to the New World Supermarket as a class. Our goal was to read labels accurately and to make comparisons. We had to compare the amount of fat, sodium, sugar, dietary fibre, and calcium in food.

Matariki Information Report
]Matariki Report
What is Matariki ?
Matariki is the Maori name for the cluster of stars known as the pleiades and rises in midwinter.
What does the name Matariki mean and what is the Maori myth behind Matariki?
According to myth, when Ranginui the Sky Father and Papatuanuku the Earth Mother were separated by their children Tawhirimatea got so mad that he tore his eyes out and threw them into the heavens.
Matariki is a time for dancing, singing and Feasting. Matariki was a wonderful time but the celebrations stopped in the 1940’s.
Taking notes: Matariki is the name for the Maori new year. One night they disappeared from the night sky in Aotearoa. It is a time for hearing stories about the past. Matariki is for me to be with friends and family.

Samoan Language Week's Umu Recount
Recount
On Friday we had a Samoan Umu. On Friday that was Miss Haslems last day at Christ The King School and the people helping were Mr T, Mr Tyrell,Aden and Ayla’s parents, and Joseph’s parents. When the people were eating the Umu they put the rocks and then they put the food over the hot rocks and then they put the newspaper on top of the food.
After Room 6’s assembly we went back to class and then after we were done learning Mr Tyrell came to us and said “ does your class want to come to see to pack up the Umu?” The people that were picking up the Umu were Mr Tyrell, Mr T and Joseph's parents. After the Umu was packed up we had to go outside to the Juniors playground and we were singing the Samoan national anthem.
After we were singing the national anthem Mr Tyrell said to the teacher, ``Can you take your class to the Umu in the hall”?. All of the classes were walking down the hall and by the time we were in the hall we had to sit down. After the classes were sitting down Mr Tyrell was saying a speech or a prayer in Samoan. By the time when Mr Tyrell says a speech or a prayer Mr Hadnett said we will go class by class but we will start with room 6 first and then the other classes will go after room 6.
By the time every class got their food they went to eat outside or in the hall. After the classes were eating, when they finished their plate they went to get some more food on the plate. The food that we ate was Pig Pork, Taro, Raw Fish and Chop Suey. After the whole school was finished eating we went to play and we were playing basket-ball with Miss Haslem. And then the bell rang and then we had to go to class.
By the time we went to class the time was 2.33pm and we had to pack up and go to get our bags and come to the mat to say prayer. After we said prayer Our class and Miss Paton gave a present to Miss Haslem and then she opened it and there was chocolate and a book and there was a card but Miss Haslem read the card out to us. After she finished reading out the card to us she gave Miss Paton a gift. She opened it and there was chocolate and a key chain. When Miss Paton finished opening her gift Miss Haslem gave the whole class a bag of chocolate and lollies inside the bag after she gave us the bag we went to line up and go home.
