From early June, before sunrise, look to the north-east horizon. Find the constellation Tautoru, or Orion’s belt (sometimes called ‘the pot’). Trace a line northwards from the three stars of Tautoru. Look for a faint sparkle of tiny dots, about the same width as Tautoru is long. This is the Matariki star cluster. Matariki can also be seen during the summer months in this location of the sky after sunset.The mother is Matariki, and her daughters are Tupu-ā-nuku, Tupu-ā-rangi, Waipuna Rangi, Waitī, Waitā, and Ururangi

WALT: Synthesize ideas and information in a narrative text
Hey readers throughout the week i have been reading a book called Hair,There and everywhere! My book is about a girl called Rebecca who drinks a bottle and does not realise the bottle was for hair growth then a week after her hair was 14 metres long then her dad had to build a castle with a window 25 metres above the ground so her hair could hang out the window then a prince saved her and cut most of her hair of and she had a nice new cool haircut.
For my challenging text we had to read about our skin it was really gross cause they talked about our body parts but we managed to survive.
It all started with a miller and a beautiful daughter
The miller was poor and wanted some money then he saw the king of the country come past on his horse the miller could not believe it. He wanted to meet the king so he went to the spot the king was in and he met the king and said hi majesty it's my honor to meet you. You should see my beautiful talented daughter the king asked what her talent was the miller was stunned so he said she could make gold out of straw then he invited the miller and his daughter to the palace to see her talent then she got pushed into a room of straw to spin into gold and she said her dad made up a fib but
the king did not care and locked her in the room and said spin all this straw up to gold by the morning. If you love your life.
