On the last week of school, I went to a tangi up north in Waima so I couldn't come to school for a week because my Uncle passed away. My mum told me to choose where I will be when we go up to the Marae. I had to choose out of the Kitchen or Marae to listen to the Kaia Korero. My choice was in the Kitchen because I like to do the dishes.
Once we got up north, we were all standing at the back of the coffin because when we go inside the coffin needs to be down on the mat. Well we were waiting the Kai karanga came out to welcome us in. We got in and went in a line and waited for the whanau to hongi the rest of our whanau that were there. When it started to get dark I went to the kitchen to see if my mum wanted help. She said no so I went to my Cousin Ronnie to see what she was doing. She was playing handball with Jahmon and Desman my other Cousins. Soon we got bored then we went in the Marae. It was 11:37 and it got darker. I only had half an hour to sleep.
The next day was cool till it hit dark at dark time on Tuesday because we had to toetoko my uncle. We use a stick made with patterns on it. It was special, that was the night I got heaps of sleep because I didn't want to speak but that night I had to speak, I woke up in the middle of the night because my cousin Wayne that teached our Kapa haka group done a haka and he woke heaps of people up with his amazing performance. Then I crashed out when he finished.
Then it was Wednesday, Wednesday was the sad day because that was the day we had to burie my Uncle it was a emotional moment to see him get buried when we went to the simatere I was starting to get happy because my Papa was there there is a photo of him at Tamaki Collage next to the P.E hall well he was there i hadn't seen him for ages. Well all that was over we went back to the Marae it was dark it was cool because everyone went to set up the Kitchen for the people who wanted to have a drink we had Hangi for our Kai it was delicious that night was just getting started well everyone was in the Marae I called them in for a feed My mum was out side in the car she needed a break so I took over Everyone came in and I waited for everyone to have a feed because I was on dishes there were heaps of dishes and My cousin said 'I wouldn't want to be in your spot right now' I didn't mind it was awesome I just didn't have a feed when that was all done my aunty give me some lollies for doing the dishes for everyone I was the only one there most of the Adults were drinking soon I went into the marae and played with my cousins and stayed up all night till we had to go home on the next day and that was my Holiday.
As my explorer I am doing Dora and Jack Sparrow. These a 2 of my favorite explorer's that play on Movies and Cartoons which a cool because we know a lot when your cousin sits there watching these cartoons when you want to watch your own stuff. But anyway Jack Sparrow is amazing on his Movies because he does heaps of stunts on his Movie when he fights that Octopus guy. But these 2 Explorer's a great and cool because they represent a lot of explorer's that play on Movies and Cartoons. Thanks and Hope you Like this...In the Holidays I went to the Library with April and Shontal we had a computer that we had booked the day before. We had booked seven computers and used them all up. I went on many websites which was Facebook, Bebo also YouTube listening to songs. Every time I go on Facebook I always enjoy it because I can chat with my family on line. Sometimes I don’t always stay at the Library and decide to go next door to the Marae.
At the Marae I help my Aunty Jalayne and Aunty Georgie which is Miss Tito’s Aunty.But at the Marae its cool and I enjoy helping with the hangi. We all do hangis for the visitors that come Saturdays. We work really hard to do that just for them and we think its good for them to try something new.
In the afternoon I went back to the library and saw April and Shontal then they had there turn on the Computer. Just after there turn I got some Money and got a feed and went to Shontal’s house and called some people. But then we went back to my house to get some Clothes which was late at night walking through Glen Innes peacefully.
Then saw some of the kids from Tamaki intermediate they had went to the shop and was roaming Glen Innes. Then got home and got my clothes said bye to my mum and left. Then we saw Ocean and Tyla Baker they were in Glen Innes with Tylas mum. We went and said hi they were waiting for Tylas mum in the shop or Chemist. April, Shontal and I saw Renee Shontal’s Sister we were told to go straight back to Aprils House safely. Walking through the park taking a sort cut through there and soon getting a safe trip back to Aprils. After all that dramatic moments in Glen Innes at night with Shontal and April we went back to her house and her mum came home with a bunch of junk food It was nice as. Soon it was the next day after a beauty sleep but also cold, we went back to the library which we were going there for about 1 and a half weeks.
Finally after a whole 2 weeks we went to school for the first day of the Term which was Term 3, !!!YAY!!! where back at school for the first term I had thought in my head so quietly I am so happy but also upset I won't see my mates from Tamaki Intermediate again but that's all goods at less I see them much more offen this term. But anyway I still miss the holidays seeing my friends at the library or in Glen Innes and the Holidays doing fun things mostly going to the library in Glen Innes.
My MumEvery now and then, a bubble of magma pinches off from the "hot spot" and rises up through solid rock, like a bubble leaving the bottom of a pan of hot water.
Larger bubbles may go on to send liquid rock to the surface for years, building up rocky scoria cones like One Tree Hill.It is thought that Auckland’s volcanoes first began to appear between 60 000 and 140 000 years ago, starting with the eruptions of Albert Park and the Domain. The largest and most recent eruption was Rangitoto, about 600 years ago, which would have been witnessed by local Maori.
Even though the larger volcanoes like One Tree Hill and Rangitoto may have been created by successive eruptions over a period of centuries, it is unlikely that any of Auckland’s existing volcanoes will become active again
