Whaea Trina's Powhakangahau

Last night I went to Whaea Trinas farewell.It was
at the NMIT student center. It started at 5:30.

Whaea Trina entered the building while we sang a song
After that we went and had some food, It was DELICIOUS!
After that I got an ice-cream from Kowhai.

After that my friends and I played secret spys. My
name was shadow potato. It was very fun.

Later on we watched a slide show.It was very dramatic. It
was made by Matua Tony. After that it was an open mic but
without a mic.

Finally it was boggie time, but after the first 2 songs
I went home.

I liked it at Whaea Trinas farewell cause it was so AWESOME!

Matariki acrostic poem.

Marks the first month of the Maori New Year,

A magnificent sight,

The six sisters,

A time to plant crops,

Rising over the horizon,

In early June,

Koutou, we all come together,

It's a time to celebrate.

Kia Matua Manihera,
Thank you very much for coming to answer the many questions we had that needed answering. I have learned a lot from you, especially about Celestial Navigation. I never knew you could navigate with stars, clouds and swells.

I enjoyed listening to all the information you told us.
