Matariki

On Thursday 23rd July our school celebrated Matariki and did fun activities some people called their parents or grandparents to join them. On Matariki there are 7 stars that appear in the sky that mark the maori new year.  One of the activities was stop motion for stop motion we had to plan what story of Matariki we are going to retell the we have to get paper or playdough to shape or cut out things and people. Then we had to take our chromebooks take a video of it and add a screencastify on it. Some people finished there's some didn't. Activity was making fry bread we made fry bread we had groups in my group there were Arielle, Miriama, Faith, TJ and Yousuf. First we took the dough and rolled it out then we cut it out in pieces and fried it in oil. We had options to put on nutella raspberry jam and maple syrup. We also made kites we used paper to make maori patterns then we colored it and dyed it. We put it on the kites and hung them on the walls of our classroom.

Here are some pictures of the day.
