Matariki 7 stars
Matariki is the Maori name for the seven stars also known as the Seven Sisters. Matariki is a short way of saying Ngā mata o te ariki o Tāwhirimātea, or 'the eyes of the god Tāwhirimātea', Matariki is sometimes called 'little eyes'. Matariki is the start of a new for Maori tradition. However it is also a celebration that- crops have been harvested, seafood and birds have been collected.
The legend of Tawhirimatea and the separation of his gods.
Long ago in the misty dark times there was two gods that loved each other
so much, their names were Ranginui- Father of sky and Papatuanuku- Mother of earth.
What they did not realise was that their 12 sons were stuck in between the both of them.
One day Tane-nui-a-Rangi was so murderously anxious at his parents so he irritatedly. Separated
His parents. Tawhirimatea- E te Atua hau- God of wind downheartedly started to cry.
Tawhirimatea- E te Atua hau- God of wind angrily threw his tears into the heavens above.
However his tears turned into stars. 7 of the stars became sisters and sat on the shoulders of a bull.( 6 of them
Were sister the most gleaming one Matariki is said to be the mother.
When is Matariki?
Matariki rises in mid-winter and for many Māori, it is the start of a new year.
In Aotearoa New Zealand it comes into view low on the north-eastern horizon.
It appears in the tail o
f the Milky Way in the last days of
May or in early June, just before dawn. According to the Maramataka
(the Māori lunar calendar),
the reappearance of Matariki,
brings the old lunar year to a close and marks the beginning of the new year.\

My mindfulness place
In my classroom we have been imagine where our mindfulness place is. I have been doing this activity from the 4 of June to Wed 17 of June. Here is my activity.
4/6/2020
My mindfulness place is where I can get to think outside the box, having a soothingly undisturbed time, hear what I hear, smell, feel, see, and what my feelings are.
In my mindfulness place I can hear birds chirping above my head, trying to gossip to other creatures in the forest.
Standing quietly I can hear the run of smooth wind wiping a small frown off my face.
I could make out the sound of my breathing going in and out soothingly. It feels worrying to hear my breathing because usually it means I'm stressed.
I unexpectedly hear an alarmingly loud BANG! The bang sounds like a herd of buffalos running down a hill, from a pack of Hyenas.
Lastly, I hear it all stop and peacefully go back to the peaceful forest it used to be.
5/6/2020
I said to myself, this is what I feel in my mindfulness place.
I can feel the enjoyable, cosy breeze of wind wipe a frown off of my face.
I feel my hair soothingly blowing my hair around, like a rollercoaster going up down , up down.
I enjoy the feel of my feet touching the soothingly soft grass below my feet.
I can lastly feel my body is all relaxing like a chair that has never been used.
8/6/2020
In my meditation place I can smell cow pats from a distance.
I then smell the fresh air circling my surrounding like a tornado.
I accidentally smell my own CHEESE breath drifting around, my face like a raft in the sea.
I can lastly smell the tree stump that is creating a new life. I can smell this because I am focused. I become one with the forest.
11/6/2020
In my meditation place I can see clouds moving as slow as a 123 year old snail.
As I look up, I can see birds flying around, as if they are trying to stamp or trying to pummel a tree.
My eyes unexpectedly look at my feet. I then look at the cow patty stuck in between my toes.
I lastly look at my reflection at the nearby pond. As I gaze upon my reflection I relax and fall into a deep sleep.

Charlie's best friend is Benjamin. Same age as Charlie and a little bit shy.
Mrs Inggledew gave Charlie all the keys and said” Take these and try one each day until you find the right one!.
