Matariki Information Report.

By Savanah.

Classification.

Matariki is a cluster of stars that are also known as the Pleiades. Matariki was created by the Weather God, Tāwhirimātea. He got so angry at the other gods, that he threw his eyes at space, and they were never seen again, but when they hit space, little did the gods know that the eyes had been turned into stars. This was the making of Matariki.

How is Matariki celebrated?

Matariki is a Māori celebration that many other religions and cultures celebrate all across the globe. Matariki is on June 24th every year and is celebrated in different ways. Matariki was celebrated for the upcoming year to prepare grounds for crops to grow in the next seasons. Matariki can also be celebrated for the Legend of how Matariki was made.

The 9 Stars of Matariki.

When Tāwhirimātea threw his eyes into space, they shattered into hundreds of pieces, creating stars. 500 to be exact, but only around 9 stars were visible from the earth, without a telescope. These stars were called Waitī, Waitā, Waipuna - ā - rangi, Tupuānuku, Tupuārangi, Ururangi, Hiwi - i - te - rangi, Pōhutukawa and Matariki. These stars are the ones visible from the earth without a telescope and are the stars that make up Matariki. The parents of the Matariki Pleidias are Papatuanuku, the Earth Mother and Ranginui, the Sky Father.

Why is Matariki important?

Matariki was very important back when there wasn’t advanced technology, so the Māori used the stars to help navigate and tell the seasons and when to plant crops. The stars were very useful back then when things weren’t so advanced.

Matariki Madness!

 Hey guys! This week I have been learning above and beyond about Matariki in literacy! Who knew that there were so many different things to learn about Matariki. Did you know that When Tawhirimatea threw his eyes out to space, they shattered into 500 pieces, but only 9 are visible from earth? Well, now you do! In this presentation, you will find out about the Maori legend and what happened to the stars and their names and loads more! Hope you enjoy it!

Google Summit 2021!

 Hey guys! This is a blog post on the Google Summit from 2021! Today I will be sharing the things that I have been learning, what was challenging and what I enjoyed the most. I think the most challenging was the Animaker Animation. It was challenging to figure out how to use it and what to do, but I got there in the end!

 The most fun toolkit I attended was probably Wedeo and Upgrade your google slides. Wedeo is super fun to make videos, GIFs and more! You can use Wedeo to edit videos and create ones from scratch! 

I never knew that you could animate text on google slides! Slide decks just became a whole lot more fun! Animating your text and slides can make your slide decks more interesting. You can the slides fly out of the sky, or make your text zoom in and out! It's super fun, and I think I'll definitely use animated text in my future slide decks. 

I learned using Canva with infographics, posters, postcards, slides and more! Canva has taught me that you can do more with your information and be more creative with your knowledge. 

I had lots of fun with Google Summit 2021 this year, and hope to do ti again soon!
