Matariki narrative



Tane Mahutas perspective
In the begining the only light was from Te Marama the moon. Hi my name is Tane
this is what happened.
"We need to kill them!"said Tumatauenga god of war. Me and my brothers disagreed.
My brothers and I want to separate our parents so we can see the sun. Its hard because
Rangi and Papa are in love and they won’t let go of each other. All their children
were born in darkness. Both of them are way to strong but if we try we can push
them apart.

I used my legs to push them apart and then my brothers pushed  Ranginui as well.
They pulled him away from Papatuanuku. But my brother Tawhirimatea god of wind
didn’t want them to be apart but he knew what to do so his Dad wouldn’t get hurt.
So he blew Rangi  away so then after years in the dark with the only light Te Marama
there was light. Tawhirimatea was angry so he made lightning then 7 and he threw the
lightning at Ranginui and stars were formed. There names were Waiti, Waita,
Uru-a-rangi ,Tupu-a-nuku ,Waipuna-a-rangi,Tupu-a-rangi and the bigest one was called
Matariki.

(Write your name here)’s Maths learning Story The Maths problem:   We were trying to make a rectangle garden with a 36m perimeter when we looked at the Te Rito garden problem.   Lepale drew shape A. Jeremiah drew shape B and said it had a bigger area because it looked slightly bigger. Lepale wasn’t so sure. Who is right and how can you prove it? Tangaroa thought that this shape would make an interesting garden.  What is the perimeter of this garden? What is the area? The story of the Maths problem: (use your own words) Lepale drew  shape a, Jeremiah drew shape b to see who had a bigger area B is 8 x 10m a was 7 x 11 m. What we were trying to find out: To see who had the biggest area of the rectangle. How we solved the problem: First we decided the area is the space inside the rectangle.  We measure that in square meter = 1m x 1m Then we drew shape b 7m x 11x = 77m2 Then we drew shape a 10m x 8...

Kanah’s Maths  Learning Story Term 3 2019 How do we solve a tricky math problem as a group?  Maths helps us solve problems we need to now. VaVulangi is helping to make otai for a family reunion. She is going to make 26 litres of otai.  50% of the otai is coconut milk.  If each box of coconut milk is 1.45 litres, how many boxes of coconut milk will she need?  So first we read the problem so we know what's happening. So we now that a box of coconut milk is 1.5 litres and the otai has  50% of the coconut milk  so we need to find out how many boxes of coconut milk she needs.  So I  did 1.45+1.45=2.90 but then I kinda changed my mind and I thought that we could half the 1 from the 1.45 and then we have 50% and there is 50%.45 left in the box so I think they need about 4  boxes of coconut milk if they are making 26 litres       .;l I want you to know that I am good at ...

cccc Kanah's Writing Learning Story Term 3 2019 “How do we  create a moment in time so our audience feels like they are there with us?” My Moment in Time Title: Tongan Performance As I am in the changing rooms my heart is beating like never before! I am sweating hard as if it is raining. I could hear the crowd celebrating their children who were on the stage by yelling and shouting. Walking towards the doors made me feel like I was getting closer to a rumbling volcano. As the Tongan parents were yelling and clapping hard out. As I am walking around everyone, my body filled up with goosebumps. As the other group jumped off the stage my heart bumped even stronger. I am walking on stage, everyone clapped and cheered. I started to calm down as I was singing because everyone went quiet. I stopped singing and everyone clapped and cheered. When I heard someone call out my name I felt so calm, I felt like they loved me. As I went backstage I felt proud to be a part of the ...
