MUSEUM
TRIP
THURSDAY THE 20TH OF JUNE 2013
Hi all,
It’s
been a while since we have blogged because we have been non - stop learning about Matariki which means "eyes of god" or "tiny
eyes". Matariki is also the name of the Maori New Year where you see the constellation of 7 stars in the sky. Finally the day came and it was time to go to the museum. Thank you to the parents that transported
us to the museum. We soon arrived and Alan
Reiley ( The museum educator) had a
slideshow to see what kind of Manu
Tukutuku kites they made in the older days. He then showed us the materials we
were going to use. All of us started with blank
minds on how we were going to make the kites. Our materials we had were
flax and some other materials. Then he showed us how to make them while we were in groups of 3 our 4 . He showed us how
to make the Manu Tukutuku kites step by
step. Soon we finished with the help of
parents the teachers and Alan Reiley.And man do they look amazing.
