This week for reading we had to discuss if Matariki should be a public holiday or not, then we had to make a google drawing showing why or why not Matariki should be a public holiday. We also researched about other holidays like Diwali, Chinese New Year and National donut day. These are all public holidays. We decided that national donut day shouldn't be a public holiday because you can have a donut any day.
Here is my google drawing on should Matariki be a public holiday:
I enjoyed having our group discussion and making my google drawing,

Salve Ciara,
ReplyDeleteDid your group talk about the similarities and differences between the other celebrations you read about? Did this make a difference to what you based your opinion on?

Salve Mrs Naden,
DeleteNo, we didn't talk about other holidays, just Matariki.

Salve Ciara,
DeleteIf you think about it now, would it add evidence and help you justify your opinion? Why/why not? Your synthesizing doc may have helped you with this.
