Literacy: Introduction to Matariki stars

LI: To use my smart searching skills and make a google draw on the Matariki cluster.


The above google draw showcases the learning of Florence, Sakina and me on the Matariki stars. We have included the meaning, celebration and the various legends related to this topic. We also came to know the names of the seven stars starting from the mother which is Matariki and the then the seven surrounding daughters which are Ururangi, Waiti, Waita, Tupu-a-nuku, Tupu-a-rangi and Whaipanarangi. It is called the mother with the seven daughters because they once visit their country or grandmother which is New Zealand during the month of June and that is when this festival is celebrated. We came to know a lot about the Maori New Year after completing this google draw.
