Matariki reflection

Matariki is a time reflection. Yesterday with whaea Toni we took the time to reflect on our year and set a new goal. Here is the goal I set:                                                                                                   

                                     

                                                                                                                                                                                

We made a Matariki star. We used our algebraic thinking. 

                                We had a pattern to follow :                                                                                               

                                           1,2 and down

                                              1 and up.

                     we repeated this pattern until we got the star. 

Manu Tukutuku

Manu Tukutuku

This is our Manu Tukutuku, I had help from my friends to do this, I didn’t know what  to do so a girl called Manusina came along and help us, she asked us first if it was ok if she could help us, we said yes so we worked as a team. One  thing I was good at was learning from manusina how to do criss crossing  with the wool and I got the hang of it, it was really cool so I said thank you.

We done this for the Matariki celebration because it is a celebration. What Matariki means is the 7 sisters, they are all in a story the same story, these men found  these beautiful ladies and they were the 7 sisters and they saw them and went out with them, this one man did not like  the 7 sisters he thought they were evil, but the men did not care and they didn’t believe in him, so they went out with the 7  sisters. One day the 7 sisters had a plan  to kill  the men,and they  were  really skinny and you could  see their bones. The seven sisters turned into birds. They  got caught and got took away by the chief, he turned into a bird and he took the seven sisters  in outer space and became Matariki.

This is what you need to make your manu tukutuku, you will need toetoe, it is a type of plant,( stiff plant) you will need wool, any colour, only 2 colours, then you need to measure the length, the length is 100 cm so that is the ruler you need. You will also need flax to put on the kite because the wool you are gonna put on the three sticks is gonna make it tight, the wool will hold on to the kite so the flax never falls down, when you are making the kite you will need to make the wool really tight so the three stick’s hold on, tie them into a big note so it’s tight. My friend patrick had to draw a picture of his whānau/family, then he had to use a glue gun to stick it on and he had to use it the same as the wool,then the glue had to dry.

Purpose: Thank you note

Dear Jax

Thank you for coming to rangikura school to share your opera show.

My favorite part was when the Salesman handed out the cards to the audience.

So the salsm  sang  a song so Nemo could get advice for it and he did, so he ask the sale men for a position it was called the elixir of love.  I really liked the handshake because it was cool, and I want to learn how to do it so i can do it to my friends.

I would really love you to come back so you can teach me how to do your handshake because i loved it.  

Your Sincerely

This is my art, If you can see their is my work that I have done in the past 9 weeks and here's my work. This is my whanaungatanga, Manaakitanga, Identity, korus, Mihi and my photo . What whanaungatanga means is a sense of belonging to a group,  including your friends too. Manaakitanga means caring, partnership, and it also means what it means to you.

The yellow peace  art is my face, I had to cut the other peace of my face out and glue it in my Topic book cause its my drifart. When I have done that, I had to draw another face of me,on  my left  side of the paper and colour it in.

Down bottom where it says Nav is my korus, It presents my   family, so my Mum, Dad, sister, brother and me. If you can see on the right is  my mum, and on the left is my dad,  now in the middle is my brother, sister and me.

Ride at the top is my identity. It shows my culture and the Cook island flag. Its who you are. Sence I have done all those I glue them on a big peace of black paper.
