Day One

It was a cold drizzly thursday morning when rooms 3, 4 and 5 were powhiri’d in to kohewhata marae to learn about matariki, we got welcomed in by whaea Mary with BARE FEET standing in glacial cold puddles, and our kaumatua was papa vikkitoria.

Straight after our powhiri we went and had a feed and got straight into our groups to learn about matariki, then our year eight’s had to cook our dinner. As we carried on with our day, my group got into our activity which was to find a maori design in the marae. We had to use clay and smash it on a design for about 5 seconds then we would pull it off and the design should be there.

After that we went into make our koauau, then we weaved a headband and finally! we did some tokutoku panel weaving. My favourite activity was weaving the head bands because we got to decorate them with these plastic diamond things which i stuck 5 of them on my face to try and look funny.

Next we had our lunch, then dinner which was the best because we had shepherd's pie, the best cabbage in the world, it was perfectly cooked, had garlic and butter in it which would make you melt, and last but not least, PUDDING, this wasn’t just any odd  pudding, this was THE pudding. It was a tenderly cooked raspberry pie with custard and ice - cream to finish your day. After that i was full and really wanted to have a shower, then go to bed, but it was way too early, it was about 6 o'clock i think.

Although everyone was full, could barely walk and run, we HAD TO DO kapa haka, which was the worst thing to do at this time. So anyways as we finished kapa haka i thought  we might’ve been going to bed going, But No we had to watch this video about the stars and galaxies.

Then finally the best thing ever happened which was we got to have a shower OMG, That was my favorite thing of that whole day i think, because after that we got to go to bed.

.Kia Ora my name is Piripi and this is my speech.

Drugs & Alcohol Should Be Banned

Hi im Piripi and today I will be talking to you about why drugs and alcohol should be banned.

Firstly I think that drugs and alcohol should be banned. Why I say? Because many people take drugs or drink alcohol and that can really impact families. How? well Having an alcohol and drug addiction canchange a person’s behavior in ways that make them unrecognizable to their family, and that can place extra burden on those forced to make up for their loved one’s mistakes and neglect.

secondly, is families can save more money to spend on their children. How? Drugs and alcohol are

expensive, especially when you’re using a lot and constantly. Substance abuse also impacts your

productivity and success at work and in school. using and recuperating from drugs can be better spent learning new skills to advance your career.

thirdly, what happens to you if you are overdosing on drugs and alcohol. Well most people think that

taking drugs or alcohol don’t harm you or do much to you at all, but really this is what happens. taking drugs and alcohol you’re more likely to experience physical injury or be involved in car accidents. Even worse, you also have an increased risk of death through both suicide and homicide, and no one wants that do they.

My fourth reason is the risks of death taking drugs. Having a drug addiction is a serious disease.

Millions of lives have been lost due to drug use. So don’t become another one. If you have been

battling drug addiction, find the courage to get help. Treatment can help you get on the path to drug-free living, no matter how severe your addiction is.

and finally my last reason is the percentages in NZ. Alcohol and other drugs have been used by

human beings throughout history, and New Zealanders are no different. 44% of adult New Zealanders will try an illicit drug at some point, and 93% will try alcohol. Thank you for listning to my speech
