Autum Leaves

We started our new art project by collecting the autum leaves and tracing them onto paper. We then painted them and cut them out. On another A3 piece of paper we had to paint the background using the complimentary colour of the leaves.

Our Whakapapa and Matariki

We have been very busy in Room 6 learning  a short introduction to share with everyone about our whakapapa. Everyone has done so well and we are practicing our pronunciation for filming next week. Matariki is a time when Whānau comes together to celebrate the new year, new beginnings and remembering those who are not with us.

We are busy learning all about Matariki, (the Pleiades star cluster or the Seven Sisters), and have been looking at all the other types of celebrations around the world that bring people together... and we created quite a list! Here are a few examples from our 'Celebrations from Around the World':

• Matariki
• Christmas
• Chinese New Year
• Thanksgiving
• Hanukkah
• Birthdays
• Easter
• New Year
• Cherry Blossom Festivals
• ANZAC Day
• Queens Birthday
• Deepavali
• Ramadan

Can you think of any others we could add to our list?

Matariki

We have started to learn about Matariki, as it is an event which is fast approaching. Once a year, twinkling in the winter sky just before dawn, Matariki (the Pleiades) signals the Māori New Year. Traditionally, it was a time for remembering the dead, and celebrating new life. In the 21st century, observing Matariki has become popular again. Heaven-bound kites, hot-air balloons and fireworks help mark the occasion.

We are learning about different cultural celebrations and how in Room 6 we celebrate similar things and some that are unique to our culture and family. On the 20th June we will be having a shared kai day, where food of importance to your family or culture will be brought in for all to enjoy and learn about.
