Weaving my Matariki kite

 

There are nine stars in the Matariki cluster.

Matariki celebrations happen every June around winter. There is a Matariki mother too for the stars. Maori harvest food too and Matariki is the time to remember people who have died. They start at sunrise and you have to look at the Eastern sky. 

My class made Matariki kites. We painted a side with one colour and I picked blue.

On the other one we made a Maori design on it, which was hard. Then we painted them and I love painting because it was so much fun.

Today we started weaving and I’ve never done it before and it was tough but I managed to keep going and I’m proud of how it turned out. 

Finally we braided three colours of twine to make a tail. Then Mrs. Yumul glue gunned a feather and some fern branches onto the bottom. I like my kite

My Sea Creature
