In Te Maunga we have been learning about Matariki. I learnt that Matariki is a cluster not a consolation and there are only 500 stars but six or seven can be seen with the naked eye or a telescope. One thing I liked doing was the rock painting because I got to make a special rock with my nans names on the rock. I learnt about plaiting the string for the poi.
Kia ora Kora my name is Azure. I really like your post about matariki because you are telling everyone about what you learnt. Also in Te Ngahere we were learning about matariki and making matariki booklets.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that there are 9 stars in matariki the two stars that we keep forgetting about are Hiwa-I-Te-Rangi and Matariki???
