Mihi

I come from Cook Island.

My mountain is Mt Wellington.   
My river is  the Tamaki River.   
I belong to the Cook Island race.
I live in Glen Innes,  Auckland.
I am Nathan Mataroa.

Plant sketch

I was able to sketch a plant using pencil. Then I used chalk on the pencil outlines. Next I used pastel to colour it in. Finally I used glitter to make my work look pretty.

Wind pollinated flowers

The flowers are small.
The pistils are feathery.  
The grains of pollen are light.  
The stamens are long.  
The flowers produce no nectar.  

All about me

My name is Nathan.

I am a Cook Islander boy.

I have black hair.

I have brown eyes.

My favourite fruit is blueberry.
