Matariki Art

This is our art we did about matariki. Because the matariki celebration is coming up. Our lovely teacher Miss Ashley decided to art. So we did art and she explained all of the information of how to do it. And then pick any colour you want then do it like how my picture is like. But before that she told us to get this type of paper and rip it like the type of mountain and this is how mine turned out.

Fossils

Fossils are dead animals or plants. They are usually skeletons found embedded in rock. Sometimes fossils are footprints or poo. Small animals or insects get stuck in tree sap which hardens and traps them forever. Large animals can get trapped in ice, or their carcass gets trapped in layers of rock. Over thousands of years, pressure builds up and the ground. Next the mould left is filled with minerals that form rock. This rock shape is the fossil - an exact replica of the dinosaurs. This process takes 10,000 years. Palaeontologists find fossils when the top layer of dirt or rock washes away.
