Matariki

Matariki is a legend and a Moari tradition.

He appears at 16 of june all the way  to 30th of June.

To celebrate this tradition we go down to the beach and see the 7 stars of Matariki.

We can also do a hangi down there for the food.

Most people have a feast down at the beach.

Which could also be a buried hangi or any other type of food.

And spending time with family and friends.

In Maori today we had to explain something that you do in the Moari.

Matariki tradition.

I came up with the time of the tradition and what happens at Matriki time.

Tangata Whenua DLO

week we have been doing reading

We had these audiobooks to listen too while we read the story on the chromebook. You can see on the DLO that there is pictures about the stories I read. I like working in Tangata whenua because you can listen to the audio and read.

The Treaty Of Waitangi was made by the Maori and British people to declare now wars and peace.

The hardest part about this DLO was finding the right images (pictures) to fin and put into my DLO

The easy part was it was fun to make it cause you can do the text colors and make it any style you want it to be
