Can I just mention that spellcheck wanted to make 'Matariki' a 'Margarita'.
I have proof.
See? I don't think Stars are the same as a pizza!Anyway, I should probably get into the actual post now, shouldn't I?
In Toroa, we've been looking at Matariki, or 'The seven sisters' or the Maori New Year. And My friends, Leticia, Charleyse and me did some art about it. The class had a few different things we could do, like puppet shows, or animating original poems, but my group decided to draw a bunch of animals that could be used to represent each of the stars. Have a look!
I drew the Cat, Bird (fantail) and Owl.
Charleyse drew the wolf with wings
And Leticia drew the Donkey, Jellyfish and Eagle.
The Owl represents Matariki, the Eyes of Tawhirimatea.
The Cat represents Waita, Sprinkle
The Donkey represents, Tupu-a-Nuku, Earth tohunga
The Fantail represents, Waipuna-a-rangi, Sky spring
The eagle represents, Tupu-a-rangi, Sky tohunga
The wolf represents, Ururangi, Entry to the heavens\
And the Jellyfish represents, Waiti, Sweet water
Thank you for reading this post!
I had a lot of fun drawing the animals.
I'll see you all in my next post!
Bai!
