In the last week of Term 2, our Team 2 had the awesome opportunity to visit Stardome. It was an amazing experience for everyone! One of the many highlights of the trip was learning about Te Whānau o Matariki. We delved into the significance of this special time of the year and celebrated its meaning. It was a blend of fun and education, and everyone were captivated by watching the movie at the observatory, it was a favourite.
Our presenter, Josh, shared insights on the cultural and scientific significance of the star cluster and the stories that link them to Aotearoa. We discovered the stars’ locations in the sky and explored the connections between each star. We also got to explore their relationship with te taiao (the environment) and the tohu (signs) that signal seasonal changes. Mānawatia a Matariki!
