Matariki Tuhituhi

Ruma Tekau celebrated Matariki by choosing a type of writing (tuhituhi) that they were interested in. Each group collaborated and followed a checklist (rubric) they had constructed with Whaea Georgia, to check if they were on track. There were slideshows, narratives, games, google drawings, animations and movies made to share their knowledge or own fictional Matariki stories. 


More facts are here.

Reflection: I learnt where the stars of matariki are. I used the yellow toolkit ( literati )

Check out the Matariki links on the right of our blog to learn more about it.
