In the holiday’s I went to the marae in Ngatiak for my uncle’s tangi. My uncle was at Middlemore hospital. When he was in hospital he was very, very sick. Every day he will get skinnier and skinnier. He looked so small. That you could see his ribbs. A day after that he had passed away. On Tuesday me, my brother, my sisters and my mum went to the marae to help in the kitchen to do lunch and dinner. On wednesday they brang him to the marae. When they got there they open up the boot of the car and started to carry him inside. On Thurday we were getting the food ready for friday because it was the tangi. Me and my cousin were setting up the table and helping cook the food. On friday it was the Tangi. It was so busy in the kitchen because we were cooking the food for everyone. After that we went into the marae then we all went to the Urupa.
What did you do in the holidays?
