2020 Friday 24th July Matariki festival 

I was a gatekeeper and Makaire was the other.

I didn't really know what was going on then.

So I don’t have much to tell you.

Natal and Zion were selling popcorn

Tiare and his mun were selling fry bread.

I don’t want to go on the trip to Hanmer springs because I’ve already been there

But some in the class can't say the same.

The class has been planning the date and where they are going to stay.

And when but I just see some of them as ungrateful kids.

But I might be wrong I don’t know 

I don’t think the kids did much. I think the parents did all the work and Whaea C.

They had to take time out of their lives to work for something that doesn't benefit them.

And they don’t get anything out of it.

The kids don’t know how much the adults are putting into this.
