The Stolen Stars of Matariki
Today I listened to a Goodnight Kiwi story called The Stolen Stars of Matariki. In this story, Pohutukawa and Hiwa-i-te-rangi are captured by the conniving Patupaiarehe. Sam, Te Rerehura and their grandparents have to save the stars before its too late. In this version of the end of the story is changed so the way the stars are saved is different. Here is the link for the original story: https://www.tvnz.co.nz/shows/goodnight-kiwi/episodes/s1-e4

Wow Miro, That is a great story. I could very easily picture that short story published as a childs book. It was easy to follow and I had a few giggles reading it. You obviously gave alot of thought on what the characters were saying. Maybe next time though try making the font bit bigger or use different font to make reading easier. Keep up the good work.

ReplyDeleteThanks Sharron for the amazing feedback, it is very helpful.
DeleteWow Miro! What an amazing end to the story. I love that you have thought about the science behind stars and the sun and used the to solve the problem. I also enjoyed some of the amazing descriptive language you used. What else do you know about Beatrice Tinsley? I have never heard of her before but she sounds very clever!
ReplyDeleteThanks Miss Farr.
DeleteBeatrice Tinsley is (Probably) the most famous Astronomer in New Zealand. There is also a Mount Tinsley which is named after her and is in the Kepler Mountains.
Great to see you using your past study of famous people from your Haast School days! You surprised us then with your research & knowledge of a little known New Zealander, and it was great to see her used as an influence it a creative way like this! As a sideline, maybe you could share more with everyone the importance of Beatrice Tinsley, and the sacrifices she had to make in order to be successful her field of study.
