We made clay stars during Matariki at the end of last term. We made stars because they mean it is the beginning of the Maori New Year. We found out information about Matariki here.
First we used rollers to flatten the clay and then we used a star cutter to make the shape. Next we made marks on it for decoration with shape cutters, skewers and bottle tops. After that we had to leave them to dry for two weeks so that they could be put into a furnace. The furnace was 1200 degrees celsius and it made it really hard.
These are some of our stars up close!
Have you ever made Matariki Stars? Do you like our stars?

(H) In term 2 room7 did Matariki to we learnt that Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars also known as the Pleiades. It rises in mid-winter and for many Māori, it heralds the start of a new year.
