Matariki

Matariki Today is Matariki,Matariki means it is Maori new year. During Matariki There is a culture dance and they tell lots of stories they especially tell the story about the seven stars. In the sky there are seven stars during Matariki the seven stars come to up before the celebration of Matariki begins. After all the culture dances and the stories we get to eat. After i ate i went to the beach with my whole family. When we arrived at the beach i saw my uncle and he already lit the fire just to keep him warm. As i walk to the fire with my uncle to keep warm my uncle told me lots of stories then the very last story he told me was about the seven stars. Then we lid down on the sand and we looked at the stars. By:Ronan Matariki Today is Matariki,Matariki means it is Maori new year.

Christmas symbols

Christmas symbols

Walt find the meaning of christmas.

In christmas the white candle is lit. the white candle reminds jesus and it also symbolises christ is the light of the world and when we see this great light we are reminded of jesus who fills our lives light. the wreath symbolises that god's love has no beginning or end. the red holly represents the blood of jesus and it also represents the crown of thorns. the tree represents the hope of mankind. the candy cane represents the shepherds crook. the hollie represents the thorns that was worn by jesus. Santa claus represents saint Nicholas.

New Zealand National Anthem Lyrics

The New Zealand National Anthem lyrics.

E Ihoa Atua,

O nga Iwi! Matoura,

Ata whakarongona;

Me aroha roa.

Kia hua ko te pai;

Kia tau to atawhai;

Manaakitia mai

Aotearoa

God of nations at thy feet

In the bonds of love we meet.

Hear our voices, we entreat,

God defend our free land.

Guard Pacific's triple star

From the shafts of strife and war,

Make her praises heard afar,

God defend New Zealand

Men of every creed and race

Gather here before thy face,

Asking thee to bless this place,

God defend our free land.

From dissension, envy, hate,

And corruption guard our state,

Make our country good and great,

God defend New Zealand.

Rapunzel

Rapunzel

Yesterday 12th November at 11:30 Christ The King went to the hall to see a play called Rapunzel. There were only 3 people in the play and there names were Jack Ben and jane. jack was playing Simon Cow and Ben was playing prince rupee and Jane was playing Rapunzel. i think the funniest part is when The prince heard his father coming and the price was looking for a place to hide till he saw his horse is head and he hid behind. i think the meanest part is when Simon Cow stole Rapunzels voice and when Simon Cow said to Rapunzel,Rapunzel Rapunzel let down your hair then Rapunzel let down her hair then Simon Cow got his scissors and cut Rapunzels hair.

I recommend this play for the juniors because it can make them easily laugh.
