Matariki

  We have been learning about the seven sisters  in other words matariki.                         
We discovered that the real meaning  of matariki is a maori new year when they get together ,have kai and celebrate .

We celebrated by
 getting together in home room 4 .Then some people went and got our visitors  to help. We went through the rules before we headed off. I was creating a  beautiful kite with toi toi. It was a fun experience .Something that challenged me  was weaving the flax underneath the kite. It took  us quite a while to get the hang of it. We decided to do ours a bit different . Instead of weaving our flax's on top we weaved it under . Our kite wasn't  about the looks it was more about how it flew.  In the end  we did't get to fly it  because it was more of a decoration and it would wreck our kite.
