Matariki Week

What an exciting week we have ahead of us at school ... celebrating Matariki, our hangi and activity day on Thursday.
As part of our learning we are going to share our questions and answers in a question chain.
I will start with a question about Matariki and the person who answers my question will pose the next question for someone else to answer.
Remember to read over what other people have said so we have new questions being asked.
You need to write your question and answer down before you publish on the blog because the world is watching and we want to show our best work.
