New buildings in school...

Hello there blogging world! In the beginning of the week, we moved into the new Te waka ako building (the canoe of learning). All last year we have been waiting to enter the classrooms. Sadly the year sixes from last year didn't have a chance to enter it but here we are, all the year sixes and fives inside the classrooms having fun. In the beginning of the week we had a ceremony to celebrate the entrance of the seniors. The MP of Mt Roskill came to cut the ribbon,  the kapa haka team did a dance and we tried out all the new furniture inside. For the past 5 days we have enjoyed being inside these amazing buildings. And the best thing about it, is that all the three classes are together to work in one group. Here are some photos of the ceremony. please feel free to comment. Thanks for reading this blog post and until next time. Bye!😄😀😊

Matariki

Hello there followers! I'm back with a important announcement! Because Matatiki is coming, room 7 has been learning stuff about Matariki. I will tell you stuff about what I've learnt.

1. The matariki names are Tupu-a-nuku, Tupu-a-rangi, Waiti, Waita, Waipuna-a-rangi and Ururangi.

2. The reappearance of the seven Matariki stars, in late May or early June, signals the beginning of the Māori New Year.

3. Matariki is a star cluster, not a constellation

4. For some iwi, Matariki is connected to the creation story of Ranginui and Papatūānuku.

5. Matariki was used by the crews of voyaging waka.

6. There are many different names of Matariki. In English, it is called the Pleiades (its ancient Greek name) or the Seven Sisters. The Hawaiian name is Makali‘i, or ‘eyes of royalty’, and in Japan it is Subaru, meaning ‘gathered together’.

7.Compared with other star clusters, Matariki is close to Earth – but it’s still 440 light years away. If you drove there in a car at a speed of 100 kilometres an hour, you would arrive in 4.8 billion years!

8. The Matariki star cluster. The two meanings of Matariki both refer to stars: mata ariki (eyes of god) and mata riki (little eyes).

Thanks for reading my blog post. Your welcome to write a comment. I'll try to be back as soon as possible. Bye!😏😁😄
