Topic - Cultures from the 7 continents of the world
Aotearoa - Maori Culture
Matariki
Kalama -During week 2 and 3 we have been learning about Maori Culture.
We made some poi's to celebrate Matariki. We sang Maori songs. We even used our poi to dance to 'E rere taku poi' song. We are learning to make our poi for our Maori song. Matariki is the Maori New Year. We have also been learning how to sing 'Hareruia'. Ortymestorm is our lead singer. Here is a link to the version that we have been practising - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3g0jONaro58&list=PLACj7o6dVfMN2CzQtiDvm9zhXQBa4Fq-m&index=1
Joseph - We used our poi to dance to the music. If you want to make a poi you should use paper, plastic bag and a rope. The Maori name for New Zealand is 'AOTEAROA'. Matariki is about the stars in the sky.
