MATARIKI - MĀORI NEW YEAR
Have a read of the letter Mrs Peck sent us!
HOOK
Mrs Peck wrote a letter to us today. She needs out help with the Riverdale School Matariki Open day.
We will conduct our own Inquiry into Matariki and share our learning with our families when they come to see us on Open Day.
WONDER
We spent some time REFLECTING on what we know and then WONDERING on what we would like to find out.
EXPLORE
We are loving EXPLORING about Matariki. Some of us made Maori Gods using Google Drawing.
Check them out!
Matariki Open Day 2021
Our favourite of any inquiry is the ACT! Check out what we have been creating...
Connor was inspired by a compass activity Mrs Lunn did with her Maths Opt-in kids.
He decided to make a Matariki version for his Inquiry.
Connor tested his activity on some Pounamu Atawhai chidren and got their feedback.
Mrs Lunn has put his activity on the SDL sheet for next week! Exciting!
Jacob decided to make an Activity Book based on Matariki.
His book included:
-
A True or False quiz
-
A wordfind
-
An Unscrambler
-
A Dot to Dot
-
A Maze
-
How many words can you make
-
A colouring in page
We will print some of his activity books to share with the kids in our team.

Art has been a popular choice to share our learning about Matariki.
Some of the children used paint and the elements of colour, shape, line and shade to create the night sky.
Beautiful pictures!
Can you see the Matariki stars in the sky in their pictures?
