Matriki

 LI: To understand the meaning behind Matariki.

This week our focus was about Matariki, as it is the time of year we see the Matariki stars in the sky. It is the Maori new year, a time for new beginnings. On Wednesday we had our school wide Matariki celebration. During this week we have completed different tasks to help strengthen our connections to Matariki. 

The first task in this DLO was to find where we will see the matariki stars. The next task was about where in the sky is the Matariki stars and write where they are. The last task was about why does the matariki stars disappears in may and reappears in june. This task was fun because I got to learn more about the celebration of Matariki.
