Autumn Poems

Cyber Smart Mahi

Autumn Leaves Poetry:

This week we created Autumn Poems during our Cyber Smart lesson with Koka Amie. We had to "drag and drop" different words to form our poems. We also had to use Loom to record our poems, then create a link from our slide to our video.

Matariki stories

Last week we started looking at different Myths and Legends about Matariki. We had a go at retelling the stories in our own words. Here are a few of our stories...

Maui Slowed down the Sun. Tama - nui-te- ra, the sun, was angry and went to hide. Without the sun it got cold. It was winter. The people missed the sun. Matariki sang songs and brought back the sun. Everyone was happy. Matariki is a time when we remember and celebrate. By Swyft

Maui and his  brothers slowed Tama nui te ra .The sun was hurt and hid away. It was cold and all the people were sad. Matariki and her sisters sang songs and brought Tama nui te ra back. By Waiariki
