Harakeke PLant
Harakeke, is one of New Zealand's most distinctive plants,
Harakeke also known as flax can come in very handy and also
have long, often stiff leaves which can also reach up to 4 meters
in length.
Harakeke can be also used for making things such as mats, ropes,
dried flower stalks, as well as baskets, which did you know, back in
the days men and women would make baskets out of Harakeke to
catch fish and also to hold their finger licking food.
Before wanting to cut a Harakeke plant you should always karakia
or in other words pray first. They say always cut diagonal, away
from the plants heart and from top to bottom. Harvesting is
permitted at night or in rain.
Harakeke plants grow throughout New Zealand, from sea level to about 1300 m in
elevation. It is commonly found in lowland wetlands and along rivers,
and in dunes and cliffs.
Did you know that Harakeke is local to New Zealand, meaning that it
grows nowhere else in the world.
In closing I hope you learnt more about Harakeke.

My weekend story!
My story in the weekends
Part 2 (Bonfire) last!!
On the 16 february 2020 I woke up and got out of bed and started doing my chores so my mum and dad would wake up and everything is done, once I haved finish my chores I got ready and started to make breakfast I had made bacon and egg with some hot chips on the side.
After I made everything I woke up my mum and told her that the food is ready my mum woke up in excitement in the kitchen and eaten while she was eating I went inside the lounge and watch a movie for a bit and told my mum if we can go to the shops she said sure so i got my money out and went in the car to go, once we have arrived to the shops i bought things for the bonfire.
Once I haved finish grabbing everything i need we went straight back home and I packed everything so that I would be ready for the bonfire I also charged my scooter, Once I sorted everything I walked down to my friends and played with them for a while, when my friend went to go get some marshmallow I walked home and got my Bonfire things and took my scooter.
When I haved Arrived the bonfire was already done and we just made smores while we were eating there was music and kids playing around sooner or later i joined and I had a lot of fun and we were so happy, when it started to finish we all packed up and went home I went inside the lounge and watched a few programs and went sleep because I was so tired from the Bonfire.

My weekend story!
My Story on the weekends!
part 1
On Saturday February the 15, my dad went fishing at wai otaki bay while my mum and I went to the mall to buy a feed for all of us, my mum and I talked about me getting a haircut and decided to have a haircut next week or next month I was so excited I hugged my mum and said "Thank you mum for
everything". later that my dad texted and said "hun i'm done fishing i am at home cleaning the fish, text me when your coming". my mum was excited because she has been craving for raw fish so we went inside Countdown to grab a few things.
When we came out of Countdown we bought pizza for everyone, like everyone, my mum and dad and even my dogs i was so shocked that the dogs get to have a whole box of pizza each, me and my mum was packing the shopping until my mum spotted two little kid walking past by themself my mum told me to give them $10 for them to buy pizza and they said thank you. Once they left we went straight back home to my dad and gave his pizza while my mum and dad were eating i had no choice but to feed the dogs their pizza so they won't fight I couldn't even eat mine so that was a bummer for me but i still showed off eating mine. when my mum and dad finish they started laughing and so was I.
Once I have finish eating mine. my mum, dad and I watched "Reality high#" it was cool, it was 6:38pm so I went for a ride on my electric scooter and went to the next street to meet my friend and got invited for a bonfire and making smores on the next day I agreed and went home. I told my mum and dad they were so happy, my mum even said "stop growing up to fast" after a while I went in my room and fell asleep because today made me so tired
