For this week’s Inquiry activity, me and my group (Me, Haloti & Jeremiah) decided to make a presentation all about Matariki, (including the stars). We were given instructions that we have specific questions and missions to complete about the meaning of Matariki, it’s importance, it’s celebrations, it’s past, including us making designs about Matariki. Above here is a peak of our Matariki Presentation.
I found this activity interesing as it was quite a mystery, especially using our research to look at Matariki’s history.
