Matariki Art

Today we were learning to draw some Maori inspired patterns so that we can decorate a star for Matariki. Here is what the students of Room 2 said:
Abdifatah: we are learning about Maori patterns
Aryan: patterns are made of different things and they repeat
Ehmarze: we drew Maori patterns and we copied them
Hameed: I learnt to do the curvy lines inside the waves 
Jesse: we learnt to do the waves pattern
Kapi: I learnt about Matariki 
Lukman: I learnt about doing the triangles
Merion: Matariki is special because it's the Maori New Year
Molly: I learnt about drawing the patterns and making all the patterns
Samu: patterns - I like them
Rosa: I was learning to make Maori patterns 
Tauni: I was learning about the 7 stars and Matariki
Valentino: I learnt about Matariki and doing the Maori patterns





































Matariki 2017

Next week we are celebrating Matariki, the Maori New Year. Our learning about Matariki began with an informative and fun visit to Stardome last week. We learnt about Matariki, a cluster of 7 stars, visible to us in New Zealand from June-April each year.



Then we had a play in the park afterwards....
