LI: Name, draw and describe 3 birds that are part of the Matariki harvest.
Matariki was celebrated at the end of the harvest season. It was a time when the pātaka kai (storage house) was full of food. There was kūmara, kererū and fish such as moki and korokoro. During the celebration, there were big Hākari (feasts).
In the DLO above, Lukah, Chris, Taua and I made a presentation about 3 birds that are eaten as apart of the harvesting during the matariki season. The three birds we found information about was the Tui, Kaka, and Kereru. Using our smart re-searching skills we found different pieces of information about each of the birds, fun fact; Early European colonists called tui the parson bird or mockingbird; however, these names are no longer used. We each digitally drew our 3 different birds. We also talked about how the 3 birds were caught to eat during the matariki season.
