WALT: Compare Matariki and Waitangi Day

From the past few weeks the Kia Manawanui syndicate have been working really hard to finish off a lot of work for our Ako Evening! One thing that I would like to show you is our Matariki video where we had to compare Matariki and Waitangi Day. One thing I really enjoyed was working collaboratively with my group and finishing off our video in time. One thing that I didn't really enjoy was when I had to change the music on the video because Amon and Tevita wanted there song but unfortunately it didn't suit what we have been learning about so as soon as I changed it, they got kind of mad but they got over it!

There are some bits that we have to change in our video such as redoing Aja's part because she wasn't really loud enough. I think we also need to rotate some bits on the video but other then that, It seems good!

This is our video that we made!

But edited by Amon and Tevita because they wanted to do it! 

It was so AMAZING work with these people.

MATARIKI!

WALA: MATARIKI!

This week we have been learning about MATARIKI. Now, what is Matariki? Well Matariki is a cluster of seven stars and it also stands for a Maori new year. In English Matariki means the eyes of god( Mata ariki). This week we are doing jigsaw which is when you get into groups like this:

Everyone got to choose one topic that they wanted to work on. After that, you a put into another group which is the topic that you are working on. My topic that I chose was Comparing Matariki and Waitangi Day. We are using a venn diagram to sort our ideas out! After you find information about the topic you are working on, you share back with your group that you were put into first. For example, in my group is myself, Suave, Stephney, Grace, Akih, Carra, Teresa and Mason. 

One thing that I'm most excited about is learning more about matariki and the Maori new year! Also the light trail that happens every year near the Glen innes Library. Click here to see a video of the light trail!

Matariki celebrations

Kia ora!
This is my Matariki celebration slide show. This task is about Matariki and there were a lot of questions that I had to answer. There was also some things that are happening around Tamaki Makaurau like "Matariki woven histories, Matariki ki papakura and heaven and earth".

One of the slides that I LOVED doing was "What could Tamaki Primary do to celebrate Matariki" and I had a lot of things that we could do. Something that I wanted to do was fireworks and cultural performances because people get to see how we celebrate Matariki and everyone would come alone and enjoy everything that we did.

Here is a presentation about Matariki and how other people celebrate it!



And please comment feedforward and feedback so I can work on it next time.
