The pencil was extraordinarily vandalized . The pencil had scratches everywhere. My grip didn't last very long (only like two seconds or so). My pencil is very easy to snap. That's how old it is, just like an old dino bone ( sometimes when you discover a dino bone it can easily snap because of how decayed it is ). Sometimes I like to think my pencil is an ordinary stick that I can throw for a dog to munch on. My pencil can still be used for times when I want to draw and poke someone in the eye.
When the Matariki stars appear it is the beginning of the Maori new year
We celebrate Matariki like we celebrate each other's birthdays.
Like sisters the stars shine bright like the blazing sun.
Matariki is a time for joy like jumping on a bed
It is a time to learn like learning how to peel a sweet mandarin.
It is a time to plant crops like kumara.
It is a time to fish and hunt chicken and pig.
It is a time to make things like necklaces, clothes and baskets.
It is a time to forgive your enemies.
Matatriki reminds me of celebrating a traditional Tongan birthday.Integrity
At home it looks like cleaning without having to be told to.
At school it looks like having my Chromebook charged before coming to school.
Home:
I can show confidence by telling my mum and dad what I have done wrong.
School:
I can show confidence by not being shy when asked to say my pepeha.
