Mystical 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 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 up into 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-colored. We have mixed these two stories to create the design of our kites.

This is what my kite turned out to be.

What stories have you heard about Matariki?

Silverback Gorillas

 

Kia ora this week we have been doing information reports, I chose to do mine on Silverback Gorillas.

This is the finished product of my information report. The first thing we had to do was write down all of the facts that we knew onto a slide. Then we copied and pasted it onto a doc, but then we had to change the writing and make it sound better and it needed more describing words in it. After that, we pasted it on adobe spark. Here is my work that is now finally finished. Have you ever done an information report?

Maori New year - Matariki

Kia ora bloggers over the past few weeks we have been doing a piece of art. The piece of art we have been doing is mapping out Matariki, so we can see it when it is dark outside. The first thing we had to do was sketch out the design on a piece of paper. Then once we had finished sketching out the design we had to draw the same thing onto a piece of fome, but we had to do it backward and we had to press down on the piece of fome hard so when we printed it we would see it. After that it was time to print it, I did  3 pieces of printing. The first colors I did were dark blue and light and dark green, the second colors were black and blue and the last color was black, purple, and red. Then we had to go and get a big piece of paper and then put the piece of paper over the top of your design and then get the roller and roll all over the print. Finally, after the printing, we had to make a frame, this is how we made the frame first we got a big piece of paper and then cut it out with a knife, the shape was a square then we had to glue our printed pitcher out and glue it onto the frame. Have you ever done printing before?
