Family Tree

L.I: To create a Family Tree about your family.

 

This week for our Te Reo Challenge, I created a DLO that talks about my family tree and it has all my family members names in it. I used Maori words that could help us understand  more about my  family tree. The family tree includes our siblings, parents, grandparents and great grandparents and it also has designs I traced and created. 

Matariki Venn Diagram

L.I: To compare the contrast.

In this Venn Diagram it shows how people used to celebrate matariki, how people celebrate matariki now and how do now and then do the same thing. I worked with Hosea and Liletina as a group and we found information about what people do on matariki now days. As we created this I learned some new interesting facts about matariki such as maori people make things out of flax like kites.

Summarising Matariki

L.I: To summarise the Matariki story.

This was our second matariki blog post about matariki. We had to summarise about matariki we had had to pick 20 important words from our knowledge about matariki. Also we had to pick 6 most important words, then we had to summarise those those words in sentence. 

What is Matariki

L.I: To explain what is Margarita is and why we celebrate it.

This DLO shows what is Matariki and information about matariki. We used our searching skills to find these interesting facts and information.  This DLO will help me and others that don’t know what is matariki and information about matariki.

Matariki Stars

 L.I: To draw and create a Matariki cluster.

Today for our new Te reo challenge in LS2 was that we had to create and draw our own image of the Matariki stars. This DLO is about what Matariki is and it shows what people do in Matariki. Matariki has six Tupu-a-nuku, Tupu-a-rangi, Waipuna rangi, Ururangi, Waiti and Waita. On Matariki the maori people usually come together and eat hangi and during that the maori people tell stories about the maori legends. A facts I learnt about Matariki is that the Matariki star is a cluster on Matariki night you can see the seven stars yourself.

Kowhaiwhai Patterns

L.I: To design a Kowhaiwhai pattern for our PBS Te Reo blog

Information: A kowhaiwhai pattern is a traditional maori artwork. You can find different kowhaiwhai patterns carved in many ways in a marae

Meaning: My kowhaiwhai pattern is the meaning of love and nature. The korus represent the nature God and the 2 koru hearts in the middle, represent the love and respect we have for all traditional, maori people.
