On Monday was it Maori Language Week.I did my pepeha.  First I did my waka, then my mountain, river, country,village in Samoa, nana and my papa,mum and dad,my me.

It was Tuesday and we were singing a waiata. The waiata was for my group and it was for the poi dance. The dance was called “aue rona e.” 

On Wednesday we were doing the weaving. The tall plant that we were weaving was tall and looked like grass but it was big and green. First Mrs tui told us how to do it but all of us did now know how to do it, so Mrs Tui thought of an easy way for us to make one. She got an idea so she showed us how to make a plate with the two pieces from the tall plant. Mrs Tui did my one and in my group I was the only one who had done the plant.

On Thursday it was the last day and the only thing that we all

did was practice our dance .my group was the poi group Savior and

Charis group where with the little girl down stairs and my

friend Meela was doing the stick dance will that dance
