Title:Matariki

Today we went to Te oro .At Te oro we sang songs and did cool and fun maori stuff.

When we got to Te oro we had to introduce ourselves to the maori teacher/adults.But first they introduced themselves to us first.Those teacher/adult had nice names.

All of them had introduced themselves and then they split us up into four groups.The groups were (UKU / Harakeke / Ko tahitahi),after we got into our groups we started to work and for my group we made whetu’s/eka's.

It was very very simple to make because all we had to use was harakeke.We had to get four long and short leaves.We had to get two at a time and rap around our fingers and then titin the leaves so they don’t fall apart.

When we made whetu's we had to make 3 or more but I only made four.After making our whetu’s we had to make one eka each because we were running out of time.After making our eka’s we had to pack up and we had to stand up as a group and say what we made and what we had experience what happens when it rains and when you can't do something.

After that we had to dance to matariki.It was funny because we went fast and fast.But when we were doing it we all had to spread out so we all fit.

I loved it at te oro it was great because I had lots of fun and I hope the others had fun as well.
