Summer Learning Journey - Activity 2 - Day 4 - Week 3

This year Panmure Bridge School is lucky enough to participate in the Summer Learning Journey from 2018-2019. This is an opportunity for the Manaiakalani cluster school to join. For the Summer Learning Journey we are given tasks to finish. The people who place 1st, 2nd, and 3rd from each school wins exclusive prizes. The prizes this year is amazing. I have completed most of the week 1 challenges and the week 2 challenges. I am apparently on week 3 now. The week 3 challenges is based called Up, Up and Away. This task was based on Matariki. First I was to listen to the story about Matariki that was read by a lady. Then we were to write about it.

This story is about the 7 stars. There were 7 sisters included in this story. In the begging the brothers went on their boat and sailed along as they arrived near a hill to beautiful ladies with great sinning and hair. Mitai's brothers fell in loves with the 7 sisters. They then took the wives back to their place. The mens would always cook food for their wives, but not them. By that time they got skinnier and skinnier. The sisters never wanted to go out. They just sung and sung every second. Meanwhile when the men had come back they noticed that their wives had gone missing. Mitai decided to go and sneak behind the whare when he saw the 7 wives gathering together and talking. Mitai had heard that they had a terrible plan that was coming their way, so he returned back and told his brothers. By then the brothers all got prepared with nets in their hands. The wives were all birds as the brothers catched each of them in the net. Afterwards Mitai turned into a albatross and took them to the God of Stars ( Uru-te-ngangara). She then flew them to somewhere away from the earth. Every time their shine like bright stars.
