Matariki Information Report

 21.06.21

Matariki Dictogloss Information Report

By Zean & Aden

Matariki is the Māori name for the clusters of stars. It is also the Māori New Year of New Zealand. It is also known as the Pleiades. The name also means the “Eyes of God” or “Little Eyes”. According to Greek Mythology “When Ranginui (The Sky Father) and Papatūānuku (The Earth Mother) were divided or separated from their children the God of the Winds (Tawhirimatea) became immensely ferocious that he literally ripped his eyeballs out from his eye sockets”. He would throw them into the heavens. As you know, Matariki is a star that ascends in mid winter.

Matariki is a time to commemorate and remember the deaths of your loved ones. It’s also a time to learn about the land from a century or potentially a millennium ago. It is also a time to hear ancient stories about Matariki as well as dancing. They grew crops of kumara, potatoes, etc. They stopped the celebrations in 1940. Throughout the year (early 2000’s) they revived the celebrations. Altogether there are nine stars. The nine visible stars include Waipuna-ā-rangi, Ururangi, Matariki, Tupu-ā-rangi, Tupu-ā-nuku, Waitī, Waitā, Pohutukawa, Hiwa-i-te-rangi.

Matariki in Greek Myth.

The stars actually used to be human. While they were wandering through the woods, they were spotted by Orion (a hunter). In order to save them from Orions undesirable intentions, Zeus transformed them into stars and placed them in the skies.

Fun Fact: There are actually 500 Matariki stars but 7-9 stars are visible.

This is my day at the CTK Samoan Language Week Umu

 Samoan Language Weeks Umu               By Aden

Samoan Language Week’s Umu Brainstorm: Parents & Family Food: Taro, Fish, Banana, Pork, Ham, Rice, Chop Suey, Coconut. Excitement, Cheering, Laughter. Hot Steam, Hot Food. National Anthem

Finally, Friday. But not just a normal Friday. It was a day of two events! Room 6’s Assembly and a Samoan Umu! But of course, it was Miss Haslem’s Last Day. 

A Samoan Umu is a traditional Samoan oven cooked above the ground. There are volcanic rocks on the bottom. At 10:00am, that's when the fun started. First of  all, Room 6’s Assembly. Their Assembly was all based on their learning. They were learning about plants. 

About an hour later..

Just before lunch time we got to see a glimpse of My Family finishing up the Umu. First of all, they took off the banana leaves and the newspaper covering the food wrapped in tin foil. The helpers and myself helped to bring the food onto the table, and now, it was time for the Samoan lunch/Umu!

At lunch time, our class and the school sat down on the top court near the flagpole. Mr T. told us why we were sitting there. Then we sang the Samoan National Anthem (O Le Fu'a o Le Sa'olotoga o Samoa). While Mr T. was raising the Samoan Flag. After the National Anthem, our school came down to the school hall to see the yummy and delicious Samoan food.

Mr Tyrell gave a speech in Samoan and English before we ate. Father Benedict came to bless the food. After blessing the food, Junior classes went first then Senior classes came last. I was last in the line but I could wait. I had Rice, Chop Suey, Taro and a traditional food called Palu Sami.

After eating, Miss Haslem said goodbye to our class, saying how she liked teaching us for five weeks. Overall, it was a fun day trying our Samoan food. But, sadly there is an ending to a good time, but otherwise. That was my day of the Samoan Language week Umu!

Holy Spirit Artwork Reflection

Holy Spirit Artwork

Your Holy Spirit Artwork Photograph goes here

1. What did you accomplish?

I accomplished dying paper and painting The holy

spirit onto the paper.

2. Are you satisfied with your final artwork? Why / Why not?

I’m very satisfied with my artwork because I have been working

hard during the time of making the artwork and I think it’s

all worth it.

3. What did you find easy when creating your Holy Spirit artwork?

It was easy painting and outlining because the only

colour I was using was black and I just needed to

paint one color in the outline.

4. What did you find challenging when creating your Holy Spirit artwork? 

I found finding an image challenging

because some of the images I wanted to use were too

hard to draw or paint. 

5. What do you need to work on?

I might need to work on using more paint,

because when the paint dries, you can still see gaps.

6. What would you adjust with your Holy Spirit Artwork? 

I would adjust my painting skills, because I was

painting a little bit over the outline.

7. What would you do next time to improve your Holy Spirit Artwork?

I would improve on the color selection, because during

the time I only used black.

My Father's Journey Story by Aden

  Lawrence’s Journey Story 

Aden & Ayla’s Dad

By Aden

This is a journey story about how my Dad came to New Zealand.

My Dad was born in Samoa on November 29th 1971. My Dad came to New Zealand in 2008 because my Mum wanted to finish school. He wanted to come here because he was a citizen of New Zealand. It was a direct flight from Samoa to New Zealand. They decided to stay in Auckland because they had family here. He found Auckland rather different compared to Samoa. Auckland was big and Samoa was small. My Dad was homesick during the time. New Zealand is our home now. He misses the beaches, food, and the lifestyle in Samoa. Within the years he has been here, he has only been back to Samoa twice.  

(My Dad when he 

was young)

Information report about Mary Mackillop

                                     Mary MacKillop report

Mary MacKillop was born January 15th 1842 in Melbourne, Australia. Her parents are Flora and Alexander, they are from scotland. They visited Australia and found it good, Mary’s family was poor. Mary was the oldest out of her 8 siblings. When Mary was 18, she moved to Penola in South Australia. In March 1866, she became the first Josephite Sister. She had a dream that she opened a school for all the poor kids. Then her dream came true. Mary MacKillop was misunderstood by some priests and bishops. A bishop named Bishop Sheil excommunicated Mary MacKillop and 47 other sisters. 5 months later Mary’s excommunication was lifted. Another time Bishop Reynolds told Mary Mackillop to pack her bags and move out of Adelaide. She was wrongly accused of doing things.Through out her life she was often ill. She suffered rheumatism and had a stroke in 1902, also becoming paralysed one her right side. After all the illnesses she's been through, she was still strong. Mary died peacefully in a convent in North Sydney, August 8th 1909. Everyone around the world is inspired by Mary MacKillop.
