 Hi Leo and Nikhil made this. It is to show our understanding of Matariki. We found all the answers to our questions on kid-rex. We made a slide show.

Matariki star facts.

First we had a big talk about Matariki .Then we learnt about what is safe on the internet and safe search for kids. We used Kid Rex. After that we went off with our buddy or ourself. We got a piece of paper that was our plan. It was a graphic organiser. Then we went on kidrex and researched our question. After that we published it. So here's are slide show.

Evie and Ila's Matariki Project

Me and Ila have been working on a Matariki project for a 

week.

Our whole class has been doing a Matariki  project.

We had to change our idea at least five times.

We searched our question on Kid Rex. Our question was, "Why is Matariki the Maori New Year?" and found out out the answer.

We decided to do a slide show using google slides. 

Our finished project was looking really good !!!

Sofia and Poppy's Matariki Blog

In inquiry we have been lining  about Matarki. First we have  been thinking about some facts. Matarki  is the main star and the other
stars are her sisters. 

We had 2 questions:  they are,  how old is Matarki and  how do the stars shine brighter then all the  others>

There is a learning website called Kid Rex. Kid Rex sometimes  really helps you find answers for your work.

We created a padlet to show our learning. Click the link to see the padlet.

Our School Trip

Last week room 11 and room 10 went to the

Corban art centre. We made our family in a jar.

First we drew our family and then we got a clear 

piece  of paper and then we got some tape and 

then put them together.

After we did dots on the clear piece of paper.

Then we got a silver peace of paper and went over

the dots again.

Finally we put the silver piece of paper and put it 

in a jar and put a light in. It was awesome!!!

Awesome Colours in a Jar

On the weekend me and  my brother and mum thought of designing our own Matariki in  a jar. First my mum bought same jars and then my mum bought same green and silver cardboard and then we started to poke holes in the cardboard. After, we put the cardboard in the jar and then we put blue, red and white lights inside and closed the lid. Then we put the jar in a dark room and it turned purple. It was so so amazing! By Reuben
