Pīataata Whetū | Puanga ki Matariki

This full-day programme is at Te Ara Whānui ki te Rangi Space Place and Nōku te Ao Capital E.

Beginning at Te Ara Whānui ki te Rangi Space Place in the morning, ākonga explore the science and stories of Puanga and Matariki. In the afternoon, ākonga create a children’s show in OnTV that builds on their knowledge and understanding, using an in-house script. The programme is a lively, fun, and imaginative way for ākonga to connect the night sky to mana whenua knowledges and their own lives, and an authentic context for developing communication and presenting practices.
