Matariki is celebrated because it’s a Maori New year, it is also celebrated on the 24th of June. Maori people celebrate it because it is their culture but other people celebrate it too even if it is not their culture. Did you know that Matariki had many different names around the world? Yes/No
On the 22 of June Glen Innes School was doing a performance about matariki. Room 11 had to watch a movie about matariki to help us understand all about matariki so that we could know what to make for our matariki plan.
Next we had to colour in stars for our display we also had to make 3D stars but we didn’t have a video to do it we had to read how to do it none of us did 3D stars because we didn’t know how to make it so Mrs Cochrane was trying figure it out, after a minute or so Mrs Cochrane had figured out how to make the 3D stars, Mrs Cochrane then told everyone to go to the white table to learn how to do the 3D stars.
Then we went to display our work inside the hall. Some people had to stay behind to finish the marae and the painting to cover the back of the stars. After that we had everything settled and our display was ready for the people/parents to see.
We went to the hall to have a hungi. Most of the people put their food in the bucati bin. I loved the food that they provided for us. We saw other artworks for matariki and they put a lot of effort in it because it was fabulous. After the hungi we went back and got our bags to see the performance. It was cool. I loved how the drummers hit their sticks and bucket.
I really liked your first paragraph it looked good and you are really good at your writing I see.
Kia ora Lawren. You’ve done an incredible job in this Matariki celebration writing. It looks like you guys had a great time making theses 3D starts. Your post reminded me about how I had a big celebration with my family and I had to make some 3D stars just like you.
