Legend of the seven sisters

 This week we have been doing work for Matariki because it is the time of the Matariki celebration. Fraidoon and I made this DLO which has some information about The Legend of the Seven Sisters story which is a maori story about how the seven stars of Matariki came to be.

 This is an animation Fraidoon and I made about the Winter solstice and how the seasons work. We made this DLO for the Matariki celebration about the seven stars or nine because now they believe that there are 9 sisters. Matariki is around the time of the winter solstice so it is kind of New Zealands winter solstice celebration.
