We had to write about The book 7 Matariki stars I thought this was easy but it turned out medium because it was a little hard to reflect or just write about the book. It took me a few minutes about 10-15 minutes.

SLJ Activity 2: The Seven Sisters
This book was about the seven sisters and the eight brothers. The 8 brothers once saw 7 stunning ladies so the 7 brothers went to them but a 8th brother youngest brothers stopped them but they did not listen. So they went to her and later by staying together for a long time the seven sisters treated them like maids for a long long time. But the youngest brother and the wisest heard what the sisters were gonna do to them so he warned his brothers about how strong and brave they use to be now they are just like maids. But they did not listen. (Next day) There wife's were all caught with in a net each while flying in the air attached to a bird then they became the 7 Matariki stars up in the sky shining like diamonds.

Mōrena Mehakpreet,
ReplyDeleteWell done for completing this Summer Learning Journey activity, 'The Seven Sisters' and for re-telling us the story of Matariki. How unfortunate that the seven sisters made the men their maids. You mention 'their wives' — did the men all marry the sisters?
There's another story about how the stars became put up in to the sky and this is spoken about in the Māori creation myth of Ranginui and Papatūānuku. This story claimed that the atua (god) of the forest, Tāne Mahuta put the stars on the breast of Ranginui to light up the sky and help move everyone in the direction of 'Te Ao Marama' otherwise known as complete enlightenment.
'Mata Ariki' translates to mean 'the eyes of god'. Isn't it fascinating how many different translations you can seek through creation stories? I believe that because Māori history and tradition was translated orally, it opened up the floor to many variations in mythology.
Well done for persevering on this activity, even though, as you've said, it was a bit hard. What was the hardest part about it?
I look forward to reading more of your work!
Cheers,
Jordan
