As you may know we are celebrating Matariki for about a month! Matariki means it is the Maori new year! This is a really cool and good time to spend time with you family and learn a lot of cool things about Matariki! This week Ruru is learning and reading about Matariki. We had to watch 2 videos and read 2 story's about Matariki. The videos were really cool because they had a lot of information about Matariki that I didn't know before! They talked about the seven stars and facts about Matariki. The 2 story's talked talked about Matariki, where they can be seen, when you can see them, and other cool facts! They also talked about how some people have feasts and get up before dawn! This week we had to choose 2 create tasks to do out of 4! I loved the create tasks this week because they are all really fun to do. I hope you all like my working that I did this week! I would love it if you could comment and give me some feedback as well. How and what do you do to celebrate Matariki?
Create task 1. (Must do) For this create task we had to watch 2 videos about Matariki and read 2 story/information about Matariki. Then we had to get a Matariki Summary template and write all the things we learnt in the boxes. For video 1 it had it own box and for the other video and story's/information. I liked doing this create task because you had to make sure you were paying attention to the videos and story's/information.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great blog. I can see you have worked really hard this week. I especially like your glossary, it is full of some really interesting work. Next time I would love to see a little more detail in the main facts on task 1. Come to me for a Kahu card. Well done Michelle
