Hello this week I finished my persuasive writing on the Matariki star cluster the star I did was Pohutukawa. This was an enjoyable week because we learnt about persuasive writing and Matariki. I learnt that Pohutukawa is the star that is associated with our dead loved ones and many more. I also learnt that Pohutukawa can predict deaths. I also learnt how to use the thesaurus. What is your favourite star in Matariki?
