MATARIKI DANCE

We have been learning about the Matariki Stars and how Maori celebrate Matariki.
Matariki is the celebration of the Maori New Year. People celebrate by eating Maori Kai (food)

They also celebrate with dance.

Team 8 made up Maori actions to a Matariki song.

The song was about the seven Matariki stars. Very creative Team 8.

Zoe was so creative and clever at home. She worked with her mum to put together this amazing Matariki piece of art.  Here she is talking about her Art piece.

Making a Current in the Water

Last week Team 8 and Team 10 talked about being safe in a water current. 

We first made a current in the water. (A giant whirlpool)

The we had to try and float ... It was tricky to make the whirlpool, but gosh it was fun!

Here we are making the whirlpool. 

Such fun!
