Welcome to this Room 11 blog. Our learning philosophy is to LEARN, CREATE an artifact that shows our learning, and then SHARE it in creative ways, including posting it here on this blog.The purpose of this blog is for students to become accustomed to sharing their learning, recieving feedback, and preparing them for having their very own blog.While students will make every effort to have work corrected and error free it is in fact authentic student work, showing where students are at, and so there are likely to be some mistakes. The aim is to note progress and improvement, and we expect to see this over time.

Once a year, twinkling in the sky just before night, the sisters came out that night for the matariki celebration.
Matariki is an official holiday.
Matariki is an maori name for the seven stars.
The celebration of matariki is in winter in may or june.
Many people go to see the matariki celebration to see the stars that glow in the dark sky.
Matariki is the maori new year.
The constellation was important for navigation and timing the seasons.









There is some stuff about matariki if you want to know more look at the website matariki-maori new year.

    Hi! Sam,
    Great to see you posting on the Blog.
    Your next step is to use capitals for proper names. The months of the year start with capital letters (eg June, not june)
    I liked the way you included something about where people could get more information.
