Maramataka magic ! !

WALT :Understand and explain concepts of traditional Maori time telling.   

We learnt about the ancient maramataka Calendar our ancestors used way back in the day. We made a mind map about it ,our ideas just lead on to another  idea.  

Here's something that I learnt today - Maori stopped using their Lunar Calendar system and when Europeans came started to used the Gregorian Calendar. Maori translated the words for the days of the week. Here is an image of my mind map and my moon phase poster.😎

"I wonder ... Why Maori stopped using their own maramataka calendar  and started using the Gregorian calendar"?🤔🤔

🤔

My reflection is that when learning about the moon always dive deep to find out more.  👍👍
