Dance Matariki

June 14th Friday
Matatriki:

Hello guys, today we are learning about Matariki.

What is Matariki?

Matariki is a Moari name for a cluster of stars also known as the Pleiades.

Story of about Matariki:

Matariki is a family of stars, They symbolise the Maori new year. From Ranginui and Papatuanuku , Tangotango and Wainui  They are the parents to the family of Matariki. Matariki are seven sister stars, They are very entertaining young sisters. They love to wiz about zigzagging and zipping all around the other stars. puana ( is a red star )was very annoyed by this. Takurua ( is a blue star ) Tangotango and Wainui overheard the complaints from the other stars, and they were digging out on how to sort this out to settle their daughters, Soon they decided to give them an imported task that they could be a sign for a new year.They got Matariki to call her sister over to them. Soon the stars came together and the girls are given their responseableites. It’s bad luck if you can’t see the seven sisters but it’s good luck when you can see them clearly.

Week 7 weekly reflection

Week 7

14th June Friday

Hello today I will be reflecting on my week.

What went well this week:

This week we were doing a tiny house for Maths I am at the stage of colouring my walls Because I was going really fast even though this needs to tack the whole term.

What changed me:

Something that challenged  me  was in social studies we were making a starch off thing and I did the black paint way to think so I had to restart.

Steps:

Chose your animal

Get card and oil pastels and colour with as many colours as possible.

We are not allowed to use white black brown and grey.

Then paint over with thin layers of black paint.

Then wait for it to dry.

( I do not know the rest because we are still in the stage of drying. )

What was I able to control:

In dance we were going to do what we papered in front of everyone I was really nervous but then I did it because I knew that it was not the end of the world.

what one thing I leaned this week:

I lent the different movements in dance.

What is my goal for this week:

Try my best.
