Matariki Day!!

WALT: Write about what we had done when we had Matariki.

On Friday the 28th of June, we had Matariki activities/rotations. There were 5 activities Movie making, Arts and Crafts, Music, Cooking, and Sports. I was is music. For music we learnt how to play a Matariki song but with a ukulele, First we had to play the C cord, then after that we had to play the F chord, The third cord we did was back to the C cord, Than finally the G cord. For me I think the G cord was quite hard. We had to switch the cords fast because the song goes a bit fast. After the day was over Mr Wiseman recorded us so we could show the rest of the school what we had done. The people that did arts and crafts held up their work so we could see what they had created.

TASK DESCRIPTION: For Friday we did Matarirki day and we all enjoyed it, it was really fun when we played music.
