Matariki Forest

 Kia Ora bloggers,

A couple days ago my class and I started a Tane Mahuta poster on google drawing. Today we got to finish it because most of the class didn't finish including me. We started this Tane Mahuta poster for matariki. Tane mahuta is related to matariki by how matariki became a thing. The children of mother eart Papatuanuku and sky father, Ranginui, were divided over whether to separate them and bring light and life to the earth. Eventually, Tane mahuta (the god of the forest), laid down and used his feet to force them apart but Tawhirimatea (the god of the winds) did not agree with his brother actions and thought separating his parents was a cruel idea. He got so angry at his brother that he tore his eyes out and crushed them, then he threw them up to the heavens and those became Matariki and the six sisters. Here is the matariki poster I made!
