I had to learn about some countries and put facts into a slide. Then on the Step it up we had to take a photo of ourselves, remove the background, add a picture of the New Year fireworks as the background then add the picture of ourselves with the removed background. I chose to Step up the step it up by making the background a GIF.
I found it interesting that Maori New Year is actually Matariki and it will be an actual public holiday next year. I also found a site that shows each day Matariki is on for the next 30 years. Go check it out here.
Thank you for reading my blog. Here is the Kick Start:
Here is my Stepped up Step it up:
Kia ora Kylah,
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic blog post! Well done for completing both the kick start and step it up activities. I love your animated new years picture with the fireworks, well done!
Did you enjoy learning about the different new years traditions in other countries and cultures?
You’ve found some awesome facts about other countries and also New Zealand, thanks for sharing that great article! When the Matariki stars appear in the sky, that signals the beginning of Māori New Year. Each star in Matariki has a special meaning, there's some information here if you would like to read more about them!
What do you and your whanau do for new years?
Ngā mihi,

Kia Ora Kylah
