Hey guys and welcome back to my blog! This week for reading we were focusing on Matariki. We read a news article and were pointing out the text events and features. For our create task we were to either make a 8 point paper star or a digital star on google drawing, Next we would add 8 text events and features on each of the star points. In the middle of the star we would write why we think Matariki should be a public holiday. I chose to do a paper star for my create task, the video was quite complicated but I got there in the end. Here is a photo of it: *I will list the text events below the photo because its hard to see them*
1. Different iwi celebrate at different times
2. Should we swap Matariki holiday for a different one
3. Celebrating it when the stars are not visible
4. What it means to people growing up
5. Encouraging other cultures
6. Respecting the culture when we celebrate
7. What it means to celebrate
8. Confusion when to celebrate
Why I think Matariki should be a public holiday: I think Matariki should be a holiday because it's the coming of the Maori new year and it gives a chance for people to know more about it.
Thanks for checking out my blog!
Question: How many stars are there in Matariki? Can you name them all?
