Our Favourite Matariki Song

Matariki Celebration of Learning.

We had fun sharing our learning with our friends and whanau today.

Here is the korowai we made with our big buddies. We wrote our goal for the new year on a feather and decorated it using our school colours.

We have been learning how to retell a Maori Myth

For Matariki we have been reading different Maori myths and legends. We decided to retell Maui and the Sun. First we took photos of the main parts of the story. Then we wrote our own myth. Some of us published our stories using book creator and the photos we took. Let us know if you like our version of the myth.

We are learning a new waiata(song) for Matariki

Tirama tirama matariki,
me ana tamariki, 
tupuanuku ,
tupuarangi,
waiti , waita, 
waipunarangi e,
Ko te potuku o ururangi
