Matariki

Matariki is very special to New Zealand. If you all read all about it you might not know what I know. Matariki is a family of stars and there are seven sisters. This is what people call the stars. We celebrate Matariki with kites only when it is May and June.
Well that's all for today. I know, I know that is not enough. Just keep on following me and you are going to be very very smart.
That's the end of my Matariki.

Matariki

The seven (7) sisters are stars called Matariki. There's one very small one but I think I can tell you more about it.
The seven (7) stars are the sign of the Maori new year. The Maori new year is in June and May. And it is only in New Zealand.
Did you enjoy?

Flipping the learning



This week the children in Hub 5/6 are flipping their learning in maths. This is when they become the teachers and decide on how they are going to learn time concepts.
By the end of the week, the children are aiming to read and make o'clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past on both analogue and digital clocks. The extension options involve the children solving
everyday time problems. Here we are in action!
