Activity 2 Week Three Day Four
Success Criteria:On your blog, write a short summary of the book (The Seven Stars Of Matariki). What was it about? Try to summarise the story in 6-8 sentences.

Long ago there was this young man called Mĩtai who lived with his seven brother in a little.Mĩtai loved his brother as much as he loved himself in fact they were the handsomest brothers in the village but had not got married yet because they couldn’t love anyone as much as themselves.

One day, Mĩtai and his brothers were hunting one day on a hill and spotted the most beautifulest woman singing, when a woman looked at each of Mĩtai’s brother they immediately fell in love.

Mĩtai’s brothers didn’t go hunting anymore they were spending their time fishing for kai moana for their wives and took no notice of them eating any food themselves.

Mĩtai had gotten more and more suspicious and asked there kororia what to do and he said”to follow them to see where they go. One day Mĩtai sat in the bush for a long time and had just almost left when he noticed 6 piwakawaka, then seven on a branch and quickly followed them when they flew away.

Mĩtai heard about their evil plan to starve his brothers all to death so he hurried back home and told his brother their plan hishe brothers listened closely to Mĩtai and set off the next morning with huge nets to capture their wives by them staying hidden.

Mĩtai and his brothers quickly took their wives back home when they caught them and asked their kororia again what to do and he said this time take them up to the god of the stars and get him to take them somewhere far far away and so he did.

Activity 3 Week Three Day Four
Success Criteria:Take a look at the three pictures of crazy, cool cloud formations below. On your blog, tell us what you see in the photo. What shape(s) do you see? Be sure to tell us which picture (1, 2 or 3) you have chosen and describe what you see in lots of detail!

 

In photo two this cloud reminds me of a huge tornado that looks soft and cuddly around the outside with the sun shining out of it. This photo also reminds me of the shape of a UFO than can be full of gigantic aliens. Some shapes I can see in this photo is a building underneath that looks like a tall squared triangle. I can’t really see any shapes doing with the cloud in this photo.

This photo is found on the Summer Learning Journey website but I am not sure where it was found.
