Today for my summer learning journey I had to make a poster about Rehua. I was having trouble translating it so I searched it up and found only a little bit of information. What I learnt was that it is one of the stars in the scorpio constellation and the God of the stars. He can raise people from the dead and heal anything. He is also the star of New Year.
I liked making the poster because it is quite easy to use google drawing.
It was hard to know exactly what to do because google translate was not working.
Here is my poster:
Kia ora Kylah,
ReplyDeleteit is good that you found out that Google translate is not reliavbel when it comes to translating Te Reo Māori. You could try this online Māori Dictionary here

Kia Ora Kylah,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Zana and I am a blog commenter from the Summer Learning Journey.
I really enjoy these Te Reo Māori activities as I think it is important for everyone to learn and practice this language and learn about the culture. I especially liked this activity because it was about the stars and I love astronomy and the Māori interpretations of the stars.
I think you did an awesome job on this post, it was very informative and I am happy to hear you enjoyed this activity and learnt something. You can see Rēhua at the moment in the Scorpius constellation when the night sky is clear. Maybe when you get a chance you can go stargazing and try and spot them.
I usually do a lot of stargaving over summer as that is when you can see a lot of constellations in New Zealand but I live in a city now so it is a bit harder to see the stars.
Happy Holidays, Keep up the great work and I hope to see more of your posts over the summer.
Ngā mihi nui,

Kia ora Zana!
DeleteThank you so much for commenting on my blog!
I really like the maori language too! I think it is special to learn because it is this country's special language. I really want to get into astronomy so I can learn more about stars and their constellations but unfortunately my parents put me to bed very early before it is dark.
Mā te Wā,
Kylah
