My New Matariki Words
Last week me and my class did this task from our Literacy Contract. We had to do some new words that we may not have known before and they were all in Maori and they related to Matariki. They were really challenging because I did not know what most of them mean't so we had to look them all up in the Maori dictionary, or if we could not find them there we would search them up. At the end we would all mark them and see what we got right and wrong. We also had to add five more Maori words related to Matariki, which was a little bit hard, but I enjoyed it a lot. I would love to do it again because it was really interesting.
What do you think was the hardest word and why?

Hey Poppy,
ReplyDeleteI see that this was a struggle but this sounds really interesting. Hope you had a fun time looking for the words.
Hi Poppy! I really like how you elaborated on all the details and how we had to use a Maori dictionary instead of a device. The hardest word I think to understand was probably Puaka/Puanga because in the dictionary Puaka means pig and Puanga means brightest star, but I also enjoyed this task. Keep up the great work Poppy!
