The thing I found hard was to remember all the things I read and learnt about Matariki.
The thing I enjoyed was creating a poster, understanding and learning what Matariki was.
Hi Heavenly, it's Thom from Yaldhurst here.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great blog post! I love the fact that you put in the names of the matariki stars. Matariki is such a big thing in NZ but we don't celebrate it that much so I think that doing a blog post about it was a great idea. I also love the picture you made and thought it was very colourful.
I like reading the matariki books because they teach you a lot about matariki and I think everyone in NZ should know what matariki is about because it is such a big thing here.
Keep up the great blogging.
Awesome picture.
From Thom.
Thank you Thom, thanks for telling me what you liked about my Matariki work.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you like about Matariki, what is your favorite Matariki book and do you celebrate Matariki that much.
