Matariki

This week for reading we were learning how to compare and contrast. We read about Matariki in different countries and different stories for Matariki. I was in the group with Baxter, Leyla, Mya, Arabella, Camille and James. I enjoyed comparing the stories because they were all very different. I found it tricky to pick a background because barely anything showed up.

 

Manu Tukutuku Kite

A couple of days ago our class went down to the river to cut flax. With the flax we cut, we made Manu Tukutuku kites, along with bamboo sticks. We had to persevere. After a couple of days my flax looked like bamboo!

I enjoyed cutting the flax.

I found it easy to tie the sticks together with the flax.

I found it tricky to weave the flax around the sticks.

My digital learning object shows that I can persevere.

Here is my Manu TukuTuku:

Matariki Star

This week we have been making 3D matariki facts stars. I accidently hole punched in the middle of one of the stars.
I enjoyed colouring it in.
I found it tricky to hole punch it.
I found it easy to tie it to the wire that is connected to the roof.
Next I am I will change the way I coloured it and colour in the stars that are all over the big star.
My digital learning object shows that I can take a picture of my work.

Matariki Breakfast

This morning we had a shared breakfast to celebrate Matariki. At morning tea I actually forgot to eat!
It was a FEAST!
I enjoyed eating the food.
Here is a photo of me in Leyla talking about our pancakes being even. Everybody thought they tasted the same:
