I was happy that I got to know them after we went to a whare huihuinga and saw an amazing hake and learn more about moari people like moari people do their haka as their emotions after we went to waitangi grounds where hone heke first signed the treaty and visited james busby house and learned about him for like an half an hour.

Then we headed out to the bus and crossed by the ferry to our camp sight and played a little activity then we went in our cabins and packed our things away so when we go to sleep it is already sorted after we packed our bags we had headed to the common room and had dinner which was fish and chips.

In the holidays

In the holidays my mum, little aunt and I did a big clean up of our house to get checked from the Tamaki housing. My aunt and I cleaned the living room, kitchen, my mum's room, my room, bath room, toilet was a little bit tiring even though it was fun mopping the floor. Then we went to the ware house to allow the house to be inspected by the Tamaki housing.

Later our house was inspected by the Tamaki housing  and the lady  loved it and  then we also got rewarded for cleaning the house. My mum gave my aunty and I  twenty dollars each to buy whatever we want. I bought myself some clothes and some shoes. It was so fun because my uncle and his kids were there with us too. 

After that we went to the park and played while my  mum and uncle were having a family talk. I had a lovely time.
