 Kia ora, morena, Tena koe or Ata marie

WALT:Summarise and analyse ideas and information from different texts.

hello readers this week we have been working on matariki. Matariki is a maori new year were 7 sisters are stars, how they got up there is Tāwhirimātea was so angry because his brothers pulled there mother/Papatūānuku and dad/Ranginui so he grabbed his eyeballs out of his eyelid and crush his eyeballs then he threw the crushed eye up into the sky. I really like working about Matariki, the thing that i found hard was probably typing up all the ideas from the videos up onto the doc. Hope you like my work.

create task: 1, for this create task we had to take ideas from the videos or websites that we had to watch or read this one was the most challenging for me.

Video #1 

• Matariki with glitter and silver and glue. 

• Sisters fighting. 

• Ranginui, papatuanuku,kei tango tango, wainui are the parents, puanga/ red , takurua/ blue star, the sisters are, Matariki, waiti, waita, waipuna rangi, tupu a nuku, tupu a rangi, uru rangi. 

• Matariki is a family of stars.  

• Matariki has seven sister stars. 

Wainui said we need to give our sisters a task. I have an idea about kei Tango Tango that should be a sign for the new year. 

• The girls are then given their responsibilities. 

• It is bad luck if you can not see the 7 sisters. 

• It is good luck when you can see them clearly through the sky. 

• So the sister just needed an important task to do. 

Video #2

• Matariki is also the name for the maori New year. 

• They disappear into the night sky in late April. 

• The stars appear again in late May or early June.

• When the stars appear it is a sign that the maori new year has begun.

• There is much to celebrate. 

• The matariki has many other names, like the 7 sisters. 

• Matariki is known for the biggest star or the oldest sister and guides her younger sisters to their positions. 

•  The old stories say that when the stars shine the sky will be warm and good for growing crops, And there will be plenty of seaweed together, plants will grow ta;ll and strong. 

• We can celebrate Matariki by many ways, it is a time for sharing family stories, for learning about the land and how to look after it, it is a time for hearing stories about the old days, for learning about how people used the stars in the past, it is a time for plant trees and winter crops, it is a time to fish for kaimoana, it is a time for making things, to learn how to weave and carve, it is a time for making and flying kites, Matariki is a time to make plans for the future, and to forgive and forget problems of the future, it is a time to enjoy family and friends.

• Not all iwis celebrate matariki at the same time. 

• Some might celebrate matariki on the first full moon.

• The stars join together to become a pattern. 

•  Only six or seven are visible without a telescope. 

• There are five hundred stars in the matariki cluster 

• You can see them before sunrise. 

• The brighter and clearer the stars seemed, the warmer the growing season would be, ensuring a good harvest.
