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.

(NOT DONE)
hey blake i really liked how you were like NOT DONE cause then it informs the reader that you have not finished.as i was reading your work i realised that not all of it had full stops capital letters and so on but i really liked it anyways and i thought that your wok was really great cause somepeople just add in the description and sometimes no walt so i really liked how you have worked to your limits and made a great post for a person to read/watch-Dayhzarn
ReplyDeleteHey Dayzharn,

Hello Blake,
ReplyDeleteLucas here I love the way you followed the teacher instructions just blogged it strait away I did the same and i liked the way you added lots of info of the text/video. My fav part was the glossary I learnt a lot. Maybe for next time you should make the description longer (cause I like long ones) but other than that it is sooooooooooo good.
from you best friend Lucas
