Matariki

We have been learning about Matariki.t  Did you know there are about 500 stars in the Matariki Cluster but you can only see seven of them. The appearance of the Matariki Stars starts at the beginning of the Māori New Year. As part of our Matariki study we are decorating paper feathers. I coloured my feathers  with  pencils. We cut the matariki feathers out after we finished colouring them.the name of the Matariki stars are Waipuna, Waiti, Waita, Tupu-a-nuku, Tupu-a-rangi and  Uru-rangi. Have you ever seen the Matariki stars?

Pou Pou Art

In Te Ngahere I learnt about Poupou Art. I learnt how to draw a body and the face and
the tongue of a Poupou. We designed the body and we coloured the body, we blended different colours to make it more gradient. I did pretty well.
