TOYOTA

Mahana knows if you can dream it you can do it just like Toyota

Should Matariki become a holiday?

Plus
Its like Christmas, so why not have days off?
The stars are special, if you want to see them you need a day off?
It's important, it's not random.
It's a tradition.
It's a family time to have with families.
If the English get to celebrate new year, so can Maori.
It's a special day for New Zealand.
Other countries have more holidays, we need to catch up.

Minus
It might make people get drunk and behave badly, like New Years.
It effects business.
People won't get paid that day.

Interesting
Why doesn't John Key want a holiday?
National may not be worried about it.
How many of our public holidays are Maori holidays?

Can you spot who has made which bug? Each of the bugs has someones name in it.

Today we made sushi. It was easier than I thought and really rather tasty especially when it's dipped in some soy sauce. Today Keegan tried sushi for the very first time, and he had this to say, "It's really good!" Yay - good on you Keegs - for trying something new.
