Diamante poem for Matariki - Writing

For writing we did diamante poems for matariki stars. This was fun to make because I enjoy making poems. This was not very hard since I enjoy doing poems and sometimes do them in my own time. This was a fun activity and I hope to do it again next term.

Matariki shape poem of a book - Writing

 This week and last week for writing we have been writing Matariki shape poems. For my object I decided on a book and I wrote quite a few lines about tales and stories of our past. This was really fun to write because I enjoy writing poems so getting to write one about books was really fun. This was challenging to find rhymes for each line but in the end I managed.

Matariki stars - Reading

This week for reading we got a sheet with a Matariki star with its name and a description of it so we had to draw the description we were given i was given the star waipunaarangi (Electra) here is a basic description of waipunaarangi: Waipunarangi is connected to rain, and translates as ‘water that pools in the sky’.  In fact, Tāpuapua means “lying in pools” and

the rainy season is known to Maori as Te Matariki Tapuapua.
