My Mums spaghetti (poem)

My Mums spaghetti (poem)

My mom’s spaghetti is the best;

no other mom can beat it;

and every time she cooks it

I can hardly wait to eat it.

I twist the strands around my fork

with wonderful control,

but as I raise them to my mouth

they fall back in the bowl.

I twirl the noodles once again

with all the skill I’m able,

but as I lift them up to eat

they tumble to the table.

I spin my fork; spaghetti winds

around and round once more;

but as it nears my waiting lips

it slithers to the floor.

My mom’s spaghetti is the best;

no other mom can beat it;

but I would like it better

if I got a chance to eat it.

Matariki art (Van Gogh)

Matariki art (Van Gogh)

This art is Matariki Van Gogh art/style. The art is Van Gogh art because of the stars and the wavy parts (in the photo/artwork). This took my class and I about a week and two days. My classes and my art is now being displayed in the school hall for Matariki.

Matariki Acrostic Poem

Matariki Acrostic Poem

Matariki symbolises a Maori celebration and also indicates a planting season.

Around late May and early June you may see the nine stars shining in the night sky.

There are nine stars in Matariki according to  a Maori astronomer.

A long time ago Maori use to eat Moa and native rats.

Ranginui and Papatuanuku are the nine stars Grandfather and Grandmother.

If you can not see the stars it’s bad luck.

Kumara is a good plant to grow on Matariki.

If you can see the nine stars sparkle it’s good luck and it’s going to be a great year.
