I love Vector!

22.6.16

This morning we went to Vector Arena with Mrs Vickers and a group of students. We went by bus to Vector Arena. Once we got there, there was three girls and two boys waiting for us to come in. When we got inside we were given a sheet of paper and a blue pen. On the sheet were questions that we had to answer. First we went into the room that the Breakers played basketball in. After that we went in the dressing room that Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus got dressed up in. Next we went upstairs to the bar that had the name Heineken that welcomed you. They had made some lights out of old bottles. The next room we went in was the Pacific Tuning Room. It was cool in there because we got to see the dragons Stormfly and Toothless. Me and Leilani got a prize for getting all the answers right. She got a teddy bear and I got a WWE booklet. I had a great time at Vector and one day I will like to return and see another show.

Matariki!

Matariki only happens when you can see seven bright stars in the sky and it is also known as the Maori new year. You can see Matariki in the beginning of June in the eastern sky.  A thin bit of the  new moon appears in the north. That is how you know Matariki has begun. Matariki is also known as Pleiades and there is even a car brand, Subaru, that has six stars but it was based off the seven sisters. Subaru is what people in Japan call the Matariki stars. People in New Zealand celebrate Matariki in different ways. Some people plant native trees or do the haka.
