Fun day on Matariki

Fun day on Matariki

On the 23rd of July it was Matariki and Matariki is the seven sisters and it's where families celerbrate and have a feast and say prayers. You can see the seven sisters at dawn and it is 7 bright stars in the sky. At school we did rotations and Manukau's first rotations was baking fried bread with Mrs Jones. First we put in the self raising flour and then water while we were mixing. We were kneading it and it started to get sticky so we put more flour to make it less sticky. We put it in the deep fryer and we we made mini ones from the crumbs and after it was done it tasted super delicious. We put butter and golden syryp and it tasted super nice, the dough was puffy and it was big too. After, we finished of our Matariki paper that was about Matariki.

For the second rotation we went into Waitemata for stop motion and we got ready, we got paper and play dough we started on the chair. We glued paper onto the white paper and the green one too for the night and the grass. We drew penguins as the 7 sister because we ad to do a maori myth or legend. We did a video on stop motion but we couldn't do the audio because it was time to pack up.

For our last rotation we did moari kites and it looked cool because there was cool paterns on them. I was doing a different job and we had to connect different paterns together with glue and tape. After, me and my friend glued a little kite with a hot glue gun and it looked super awesome after we finished. It was so awesome the whole day and I hope we do it again. It felt good because we did cool things and we made yummy food with jam and golden syryp.
