Maramatara the Maori moon πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

 

WALT understand and explain concepts of traditional Maori time telling.

Maramataka is the Maori lunar calendar. The Gregorian calendar is the way we tell  time based on the sun.

There are 8 phases to a full moon cycle it takes 14 days to make half a full moon cycle. The Maori lunar calendar is different to the Gregorian sun calendar.    

I wonder way Maori changed their ways of telling the time.

  1. Hi Dj I liked the way you explained the different moon phases and how you ended with a question.Do all countries use the moon or sun to tell the time?
