Hey bloggers,

in this blog post im going to show you my week 8 reading!

Im sorry i didn't get much done i was not here for 1 day of the week.

Video #1: This text tourt us a little bit about Matariki, it has a lot of facts in it so here are some I learnt. Matariki is a family of stars that symbolize the maori new year. Ranginui and papatuanuku are the parents.

Video #2: The facts on this video are very straight-forward and easy to explain. Here are my favourite facts. In the maori New Year there are seven sisters named Matariki. The name of the Maori New year. You can see the stars for MOST of the year. But they disappear from Aotearoa’s (New zealand) sky in late april. They reappear in late May or early june.

Te Papa Website:  This was different to everything so far. This time we read a website and not a video, A website has more facts on it! with lots of facts. There are a lot so here are some! Not everyone celebrates it at the same time, some people celebrate on the first moon it is there but others celebrate on the second. Matariki is a starcluster not a constellation, A cluster is a group of stars that are near each other in space. When seen from Earth, the stars in a constellation appear to be close together in a pattern.

Celebrating Puanga at Ramanui: Like the last one this was a website but not a normal website, it was a book! Here is another list of facts (the last one). Near a mountain maunga of Taranaki, a small school is celebrating a very special event. Every year, Ramanui School in Hawera honours the arrival of the star Puanga. When Puanga appears in the eastern sky just before dawn, it marks the start of the Māori New Year in Taranaki. In many parts of  Aotearoa people celebrate whenever Matariki appears.

Do you know the story of Hairy Maclary?

hey bloggers,
For the first create task was we had to watch a online fairy tale and make connections with yourself other texts and the world. The book i did was hairy Maclary. My favorite task was task 3 and i work really hard on this soooooooooooooooooooooooo
ENJOY AND COMMENT!

TASK 1: In this task we had to make connections with the text. This isn't just connections with ourselves, we make connections with other texts and the world!

   

TASK 2 In task 2 we had to make a Venn diagram on of the two book choices. i chose the wonky donkey and my original book hairy maclary. If you don't know what a Venn diagram is then i will explain, there are 2 circles and where they don't overlap is where you write the differences and where they do you write the things that are the same about them. this task was really fun and i put a lot of time and effort on it so enjoy.
