Here are our 'points of view' movies all about Yellow Fellow's visit to our school!

Matariki

K.J:

Matariki is seven stars known as the seven sisters which is a symbol of Maori New Year. It also tells them if their crops are going to be successful or not by how bright they are.

Matariki has two meanings ‘Gods Eyes’ and ‘Little Eyes’.

There are lots of ways to celebrate Matariki.  This is some of the ways- sleep under the stars, have a feast, do a dance. Happy Matariki !

M.B:  

Matariki is known as the seven stars. On June 21^st you can see them. When the Maori see them they have a big party.

Matariki means ‘Gods Eyes’.

M.M:

Matariki is the seven stars but some people call them the seven sisters. There’s one mum with her 6 daughters. When they are close to each other that means it is going to be a cold winter.

Yellow Fellow acrostic poems - we hope you like reading our descriptive poems about our adopted penguin...

How is adopted penguin getting on?

He is growing up fast and eats lots and lots of fish.

He has heavy bones so he can dive down deep to catch them.
