On your blog, write a short summary of the book. What was it about? Try to summarise the story in 6-8 sentences.
What is Matariki? Matariki is maori given name for a cluster of stars well known as Pleiades. The name of the stars(7 sisters) are Tupu-a-nuku, Tupu-a-rangi, Waipuna Rangi, Waitiand Waita, Matariki, and Ururangi. This event occurs when it re -appears in the sky around the northern eastern skies. It gives a sign, that it is a Maori New Year.

Hi Mafi!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Ellee I am another commentor on the Summer Learning Journey team!
I hope you have had an awesome school holidays? :)
Wowee a whole day of activities done and dusted! Awesome :)
Activity One:
This is a great acrostic poem!
I like how you have made it all about being together with friends and family - this is really important to me so I appreciate this poem!
Have you ever watched the Southern Lights before?
I haven't ever seen them, but I hear they are beautiful! ....I hope I will get to experience them one day.
Thank you for sharing such a great peom!
Activity Two:
This is a great start to this activity Mafi! I really like that you were able to name the 7 sisters!
I think 7 sisters in one family would be lots of energy and ruckus! :)
Could you imagine having 6 sisters?!
Did you manage to listen to the story about Miti and his brothers?
Activity Three:
Woooaaaahhhh!! I totally see all of those things!
I didn't know beyblades were still around, they were really popular at one stage when I was little - My brother even entered into a Beyblade competition when he was younger at an arcade and won! His prize was a little Beyblade arena... :)
Do you have Beyblades at home?
I had a cousin who made a home-made Beyblade, was really cool how he did it putting a whole bunch of different toy parts together!
You have done a great job at seeing an objects in the cloud Mafi, it's a really accurate description of the shape and I like that your idea is outside the box!
Great work on these activities Mafi, ka pai!
Nga mihi,
Ellee :)
