Matariki

By Anonymous
Hi bloggers, a couple of weeks ago it was the startof Matariki. Matariki is a cluster of stars, also known as The Seven Sisters.  Matariki this year was held on the 15th of June and it will be held on the 10th of June in 2019. For Moari people it is called the start of a new year. On Matariki people wake up early and have breakfast then go out side to see the stars go past. On Matariki my family wake up early and go to my cousins house to have a really yummy breakfast, then we watch the stars and also head down to the beach for the day. Who celebrates Matariki? Tribes celebrate Matariki when it is first seen. Celebrations last up to 3 days each year. Here are some photos.

Summer learning (week 1/ Day 1)

By Anonymous
Today's  activity for the summer learning journey is finding out three top facts about New Zealand on the Tourism New Zealand site.  My first facts about New Zealand is,   New Zealand is part of the pacific rim of fire and it's most active volcano is Mount Ruapehu , which is found in the middle of the North Island . Did you know that? The Auckland sky tower is the tallest freestanding structure in the southern hemisphere, standing at 328 meters high.  Last fact about New Zealand that I found interesting was  30% of the country is forest. So there must be a lot of trees then. CAN YOU FIND OUT SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT NEW ZEALAND? LEAVE A COMMENT ON WHAT YOU FOUND OUT BLOG YOU LATER

Summer learning journey

By Anonymous
Morena bloggers, Today in Literacy tumble we are doing something called the Summer Learning Journey.  We had to pick a country and, I picked Australia. The two reasons why I picked Australia is because one my favorite netball player is married to an Australian rugby player and, two because I wanted to find out about Australia so I can tell my aunt, who lives in Australia.  Who wants to find out about Australia? Lets Go.... In Australia the capital is  Canberra, there are many other places like Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.  In Australia they have a holiday called Australia Day, which is on the 26th of January. On Australian day they eat things like Pavlova and also chips down at the beach. The national colours are Green and gold and they usually have a Kangaroo on their sports uniform.

Hi, bloggers as part of our inquiry we went to Auckland Zoo.  We went and saw the New Zealand animals because that is our inquiry focus this term. Each class went with one of the zoo educators. We were sent to specific place in the zoo, we went to see the New Zeland birds and animals like the tuatara.  Some of the birds we saw were a kereru, kaka, bellbird and teike (which is a stichbird). We also went into the Bug Lab where we got to learn about bugs and do some activites. My favrouite activity was when you made a butterfly and tried seeing how high it could fly. After that we got to explore some other animlals around the zoo. My favrouite animlal was the elephant because it was doing somthing really really funny. Here are some photos of the day! Here is us being a Tuatra Blog you later😍😍
