Matariki Art

Hey guys, today we are making Maori patterns for Matariki. We are doing 3 activities and this is only one of them. The first activity was called ponamu taonga. I copied off of the triple twist. Here are the pictures of my work:

The Start

Too Thin

Finished Product

We used clay, butter knife and a toothpick. Once I did make a good triple twist but it was too thin so I had to scrap it. Now I made it thicker so it wouldn't break once I hit it against something. This was really fun and I hope I can do this more. Blog Ya Later!

Matariki DLO

Hi guys! 👋

For reading we have been doing a lot of things about Maori's New Year/Matariki. We made a DLO (Digital Learning Object) about Matariki. If you don't know what Matariki is, it is a cluster of 7 very bright stars in the sky. We read a book about Matariki and it explained how people in Taranaki cannot see Matariki well because of their position on the earth. Instead, people in Taranaki look for Puanga/Rigel which is a very bright star. Here is my DLO on Matariki.

Hope you like my DLO on Matariki. I have named all the stars' names so it is easy to tell which is which. I have also added facts around the empty spaces. Comments are appreciated! 👋😀😃👋
