Magical Matariki art

 Hey bloggers, Fletcher here.

On the 2 July, we celebrated the Māori New Year, a time to consider the year ahead. The days are starting to lengthen and spring will soon be here, we just need to get through this cold winter first! 

Matariki and the Pleiades star cluster, have got many stories attached to them. We looked at two; one about how Ranginui and Papatuanuku were separated by Tāne Mahuta, and how Tāwhirimatea was so angry he ripped out his eyes and threw thunderbolts to the sky, creating the cluster, and another story about 7 sisters making kites, and them going to the sky. Ururangi’s kite was different from the rest, it was rainbow-colored. We have mixed these two stories to create the design of our kites.

My kite has a Taniwha that is rainbow and the background is rainbow. I chose rainbow because it represents ururangi's kite.

What stories have you heard about Matariki?

RIP Bob the EGG

Cool Coding 2.0

Hey bloggers, today I made a second version of my scratch game that I posted on my previous blog post. This time you can input different weathers into the text box and the chick will answer with the Maori version of that word. The weathers that you can input are fine, hot, snowy, rainy, stormy, cold, warm, wet, and foggy. Make sure when you input the weathers that you spell them correctly and make sure that there is no capital letters.

Have you ever made something on scratch?

Cool Coding With Scratch

My Lego Man

 Hi Bloggers, today I made a lego man that looks like me.

They gave us a template of a Lego man and we had to draw and customize the lego man to look like ourselves. I drew a Rubik's cube on my shirt as my favourite thing to do is solve my Rubiks cubes. And the logo on his pants is the logo of a company the manufacturers one of the best Rubiks cubes in the world.

Have you made a lego man before if so what did you customize it with?
