Matariki kites

Happy Matariki everyone! 

On the 2 July we celebrated the Māori New Year, a time to consider the year ahead. The days are starting to lengthen and spring will soon be here, we just need to get through this cold winter first! 

Matariki and the Pleiades star cluster, have got many stories attached to them. We looked at two; one about how Ranginui and Papatuanuku were separated by Tāne Mahuta, and how Tāwhirimatea was so angry he ripped out his eyes and threw thunderbolts to the sky, creating the cluster, and another story about 7 sisters making kites, and them going to the sky. Ururangi’s kite was different from the rest, it was rainbow coloured. We have mixed these two stories to create the design of our kites.

Question have you ever herd of a Matariki story before.

 

Silver Back Gorilla

 

This term we when to Orana park and we had to write notes about a few of the animals their. Then when we got back we had to choose one of the animals from Orana park to write a report on and I did silver back gorilla. And then we had to copy and paste it on to a doc and had to highlight it with simple,complex and compound sentences.
