Kia Ora, welcome back to my blog. Today in Māori class we did new words about Matariki, so first we did a quizlet or wordwall. After 15 to 20 minutes we went on our edublogs and wrote the words below. These words are related to Matariki and what happens. Once we have written the words down, we also write down some grammar. Finally we were discussing with the teacher about matariki. Once we discussed about it our teacher asked how matariki was made or how it came. So we discussed about it and write it down on our edublogs which is down below. I hope you learn something new.

There was an earth mum and a sky dad, and they separated. There was one brother who didn’t want his parents to be separated and then defeated his siblings until one was left. He lost against one of his brothers and he pulled his eyeballs at his dad’s chest and that explains how much he loved him.
