Save NZ

 Kia ora  bloggers  

in literacy, we have been working on speeches. We were tasked to make a speech on our native birds and then we got a choice to present it digitally or orally I chose digitally. My speech is about 1080 and how we need it to protect our native birds. I videoed myself reading my speech and here it is.       

well, I hope I persuaded you that 1080 is a good thing and it will help us. have you wrote a  speech yet? see you next time and have a  great day bye. 

 

Majestic Matariki kites

 Kia ora blogger's Ajay here
    
On the 2 July, we celebrated the Māori New Year, a time to consider the year ahead. The days are starting to lengthen and spring will soon be here, we just need to get through this cold winter first!
 
Matariki and the Pleiades star cluster, have got many stories attached to them. We looked at two; one about how Ranginui and Papatuanuku were separated by Tāne Mahuta, and how Tāwhirimatea was so angry he ripped out his eyes and threw thunderbolts to the sky, creating the cluster, and another story about 7 sisters making kites, and them going to the sky. 

Ururangi’s kite was different from the rest, it was rainbow coloured. We have mixed these two stories to create the design of our kites.
        
My kite has Taniwha and then I have covered it with clouds. I then coloured it in like a rainbow.

hope you liked it do you know any stories about Matariki? See you next time and  have a  great day bye.
