The Final Matariki Task

Kia Ora,

This is my last activity of Matariki tasks,

For this task on our class website had facts we got a piece of paper and tried to find all 9 of them, after that we made a quiz either on Kahoot or Google forms (Quiz style) on all of the facts that we found,

Overall this Matariki activity has been super fun

Here is the sheet

Here is the LINK to my Kahoot,

Overall this was super fun and super cool, I think if you wanted to learn something new and don't know about the Matariki you should go and give it a try its super cool to learn about because all of the facts are super fun to learn, It's interesting to learn how it was back then and how everything has changed then to now

Until next time,

Matariki Maths

Kia Ora,

Today I will be showing you the Matariki Maths activity,

The activity was simplifying fractions and the answer you get is a colour and there is a star which has fractions on it and then you colour in the fraction of that colour

I found this activity fun to do but hard at the same, I did the easy one at the start which wasn't too bad and my Teacher Miss Rennell wanted me and my friend to skip the easiest one and go straight to the hard one, which wasn't like too bad it was pretty average.

Here is the DLO :

I hope you enjoyed,

I found this activity super fun and I have one more activity to do before I'm finished which the last one is one of the best ones yet, So wait for that

 Here is where you get the digital one : LINK

Do you know how to Simplifying fractions?

Did you learn anything?

Run run RUN CROSS COUNTRY!

Kia ora,

Today I will be sharing with you the cross country that our whole school did on Tuesday.

The whole school from new entrants to the year 8,

Year 5 and 6s did 2km at different times, the year 7 and 8s went at the same time for the 3 km run, they get scored different on the year group but we didn't have enough time for the year 7 and 8s to go at different times,

In my year, Year 8 I came second over all which I am happy with,

Here is the photos from the run:

Thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed,

Over all I am happy where I got placed, I tried my best and that's all that matters, I think for the last year of cross country for me and the year 8 was very good and fun to have another go at unless we do cross country at high school. The run was fun it was only around about 3.1 km like I said before.

Until next time,

Bye

Matariki Kites

Kia Ora,

Today for the Matariki activity I will be showing you the Matariki kites, 

On Matariki time kite flying was fun thing for everyone to do, they loved to fly their kites around that time, but the kites were very big and took about 7 serval men to just get it into the air, 

I used a online site with the stories about it and the questions which I will link at the bottom.

Here is my DLO  :

Thanks for watching/Reading I hope you enjoyed or learnt something new,

I found this activity very fun to learn about, all the interesting facts, how it was back then and how the designs have changed so much, I think this is a great thing to learn about.

The 9 Stars!

Kia Ora,

Today For the Matariki Activity,

This Activity was the 9 stars, you had to read about them and then either go on paper and decorate them based on what they mean, For example,

Taygeta the star means salt water etc and it goes on so I had to decorate it like the sea, I did the sea and the trees around it because it means nature too,

Where I got all the information will be linked under the pictures.

My DLO

I hope you enjoyed, I certainly did.

I found this super fun and peaceful just to colour in based on the stars meanings, I think if you have time to do this at home or if your doing it at school I think this is a great activity to do,

Until next time,
