Kia ora bloggers! Kei te pehea koe?
On Thursday the 23rd of July, Waikowhai Primary celebrated Matariki. The senior synicate did a rotation with 3 stations. The 3 stations were: making kites, baking fried bread and making maori myth animations. The students stayed in their classes.
The Second activity my class did was the manu tukutuku with Mrs Law. Everyone drew patterns on white, black, red and orange strips of paper. After that, we coloured them in with dye, crayons or pastel. We got 4 bamboo sticks and formed a triangle with a stick in the middle. We glued them together with hot glue. The we stuck the strips of paper on and put some red and black feathers at the end of the sticks. It is now hung up on the ceiling.
The last activity we did was baking fried bread with Mrs Jones. We got into groups of 5 - 7 people. We first put some self-rising flour into a bowl and then added water. We mixed it and then started kneading it. We cut it up into a few pieces and then put it onto the electric frying pan. Once it cooled down, we added some spreads on it It was delicious
The first activity we did was the maori myth animations with Ms Daly. My partner was Mariama. We decided to do an animation on the maori myth The seven sisters. It's a story about 7 brothers marrying the 7 Patupaiarehe. The husbands worked so hard because their wives were very picky and selfish. They captured their wives a few days later and then sent them t oUru, the god of the stars. Uru sent them far, far away into the farthest of heavens. Unfortunately, Mariama and I couldn't complete it.
