Te Raukura - The Albatross Feather...

What is Te Raukura - The Albatross Feather You might be wondering by the title right? If you don't know Well I'm here to explain. We did this activity in room two where we were learning what the Albatross feather symbolises and the story behind it...Yes it's another one of those Sreelakshmi information/education dig deep blog posts. So first let's find what the Albatross feather symbolises shall we? The Albatross feather symbolises peace and many more like albatrosses are symbolic of freedom, hope, strength, wanderlust, and navigation. In many cultures, it is believed that these birds possess magical properties that can be used in healing. In ancient myths, the albatross was believed to bring good luck to seafarers who spotted it. On my Albatross feather learn, create share activity for reading it has similar words that describe peace. Next is What is the story behind the Albatross feather? The Parihaka settlement was founded about 1866, at the close of the Second Taranaki War and a year after almost all Māori land in Taranaki had been confiscated by the Government to punish "rebel" Māori. The Parihaka people wanted no war so they wore the Albatross feather to show they only wanted peace. The white huruhuru (feathers) of toroa (albatross) are highly prized by Maori. They are a symbol of peace and used for decoration on korowai (cloaks) and tukutuku panels. The soft, white huruhuru of the toroa breast were the most sought after, and were worn behind the ear or in the hair. They Parihaka people wanted no war they sent their children to greet the english. Lastly, They all watched their homes get destroyed and wrecked. Two men had been captured by the english. This is the story of Parihaka and what the Albatross feather symbolises. Here is my Albatross feather...

Have you ever seen a rangoli before?

You might be wondering what a rangoli is right by the title. If you don't well I'm here explain. In our class we have been celebrating Diwali and making a rangoli. Firstly People in North India celebrate a day called Diwali. What is Diwali? Diwali is a the celebration of the festival of lights. It is mainly celebrated by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, Muslims and some Buddhists. Diwali lasts for five days. There is a story behind Diwali which is where Diwali is the day Lord Rama, his wife Sita Devi and brother Lakshmana return to their homeland after 14 years in exile. The villagers lit a path for Rama, who had defeated the demon king Ravana After he slayed the demon, Lord Krishna declared it a day of festivities. Now you now what diwali is...Now I will talk about what a rangoli is. Rangoli is an art of decoration drawn on the floor or the entrances of homes. It is thought to bring good luck, prosperity on the house and in the family, and to welcome guests. Some mothers in India do this activity every morning, or on a special festive occasion like Diwali, Onam, and Pongal. This is my rangoli that I created with my group. We had the option to do on our devices, paper or with chalk on the ground. My group choose to do it on the ground. My group found it challenging to get ideas to make our design of our rangoli. My group enjoyed drawing our rangoli patterns.
