Collaborative Matariki

On Thursday we got together with a senior class to a Matariki activity. We weaved a rainbow fish. It was really exciting to work with a senior buddy. We helped each other with every step and ended up with an amazing masterpiece! 

What did we need? 

Black paper

Colour paper

White paper

Scissors

Pencil

Glue

 First we had to fold the black paper in half and draw some lines on it and then cut them for our weaving strips to go through. Then we had to cut colourful paper to weave with. When you weave your paper strips go over, under, over, under. Next we had to cut out a basic fish on white paper. We had to glue the fish frame onto our weaving. Here is our final product!

Today I went to Hawkins theater just across the road.Nearly the whole entire school went. I had fun watching The Matariki Glow show. When I was watching the show The thing I liked about The Matariki show was the acting. In moari culture Matariki to them is happy new years so they celebrate Matariki for representing a new year.Sometimes celebrations of Matariki can last for 3 or 4 days.If you also didn’t know Matariki is also a legend ,their legend name is “eyes of god” but their username that we call them is Matariki. In our year 2019 we can also celebrate Matariki even today! Cause like I said Matariki can last either 3 or 4 days and Matariki was yesterday! The time is 10:00 am in the midnight.
