L.I: To use our knowledge to explain what Matariki is?



This week we made five or six DLO's about Matariki. This is the first one in this DLO we talked about what Matariki is. This DLO was made in groups. In my group there was Matthew, Giovanni, Azatulah and myself. In this DLO we wrote about what Matariki was, and what it was about. This activity was fun and interesting to do because we worked well together and we didn't know much about Matariki.

Matariki celebration

Yesterday on Wednesday we had a Matariki celebration with the whole school. We did the Matariki celebration in the juniors. We sat on the benches. First some teachers spoke. Then there were performances. The first performance was the senior kapa haka. They did some dances and they also sang some songs. After it was the junior kapa haka. They also did some dances and songs. Once it was junior kapa haka three boys from our school and Mr. Matt did the drums. Then it was the ukulele group. There was only three girls and Whai Odie who did the ukulele. After it was the pacifica group. Three men did the drums for the pacifica group. They were really good. I think all the performances were awesome and they all were brave to show their performances to the school. They also just started last term and are very good. They practised a lot for the Matariki Celebration. Once all the performances were done the juniors had to line up on the right and the seniors had to line up on the left. We all got sausages. The vegetarians had to go to the kitchen to get sausages. I didn't go to the kitchen because I am not vegetarian but I still eat vegetables.

Matariki is a Maori new year PBS will celebrate Matariki by singing song's and eating food and  performing. For Maori today we learned to sing a song and also Whia Oddie gave us a word find. A word find is like finding a word in Maori and we have to cross it out. After that we had to write a song on the back of the paper.
