  • The Stolen Stars of Matariki by Miriama Kamo Illustrated by Zak Waipara
    teacher notes The Stolen Stars of Matariki By Miriama Kamo Illustrated by Zak Waipara Synopsis The Stolen Stars of Matariki is a picture book story about two children, Sam and Te Rerehua, visiting Grandma and Pōua at Te Mata Hāpuku (Birdling’s Flat). While collecting agate and fishing for eels from the beach they look up at the stars and their grandmother tells them stories. One night Grandma notices two Matariki stars are missing from the sky. They then discover some naughty patupaiarehe playing on the beach with two glowing rocks. It’s up to Sam and Te Rerehua to save the stars. The two fair-headed children blend in with the patupaiarehe on the beach and ask what is happening. The patupaiarehe spend so much time skiting about what they’re going to do with the two stolen stars they don’t notice it’s nearly sunrise. When Te Rerehua tells them the sun is coming up, the patupaiarehe run from the beach, fearing their delicate white skins will burn. Pōua launches the two Matariki stars back up into the sky with his eeling gaff, and the nine stars of Matariki are back together again. The grandparents and children then carry their freshly caught eels home. About the Book’s Creator Miriama Kamo is an award-winning journalist.

  • Miriama Kamo
    Miriama Kamo Twitter Award winning journalist Miriama Kamo grew up in South Brighton, Christchurch. Of Ngai Tahu and Ngati Mutunga descent (from her father) and Scottish/Irish (from her mother) - she grew up with a love of story-telling which steered her towards journalism. This saw her enroll in a three-year journalism course at the NZ Broadcasting School in Christchurch. Shortly after graduating, she promptly landed her first job in television as a reporter and presenter on Get Real - a science and discovery show for children. A year later she moved to Wellington, and began work as a reporter on TV3's Sunday with Mike Hosking (later to become Backch@t with Bill Ralston). Miriama stayed on with Backch@t for almost three years. Australia's sunny shores called to Miri, who then moved to Sydney - taking a short break from television. After disastrous experiences working as a receptionist at an advertising agency, a trainee typesetter and a waitress - she returned home, accepting a presenter role on TVNZ's Sunday. During her three year stint, she won the prestigious Best Current Affairs Reporter gong at the Qantas Media Awards in 2005. Miriama then spent an impressive six years manning the hull of TVNZ's popular current affairs show 20/20, before eventually returning to TVNZ’s Sunday as a correspondent and anchor. She has also presented for current affairs programme Marae and lifestyle show Kiwi Living. As an MC Miriama’s natural warmth, professionalism and poise shines through allowing guests and organisers to relax and enjoy any event. She's bubbly and engaging, with an infectious and ready smile.

  • Where Talent Takes Hold & Thrives
    Programme 8th September 2016 | Massey University Te Ara Hihiko 12-B/C WHERE TALENT TAKES HOLD & THRIVES Proudly brought to you by EUREKA! PROGRAMME 1 Proud to be the Platinum Sponsor of EUREKA! At the forefrontof science www.sciencenewzealand.org Welcome It’s another stellar year for the EUREKA! Programme. Once again we have 16 outstanding students from schools and universities who will present their ideas on how we will use science and technology to make New Zealand “the most beautiful, stimulating and exciting place in the world in which to live”. Five years ago the Rotary Club of Wellington started this annual competition to identify and foster young leaders of our community. The Rotary EUREKA! Trust, chaired by Dr Russ Ballard, has taken that original idea and has developed it in directions no-one even considered but which now seem entirely central to the core of the idea. To make sure that students in every part of New Zealand have an equal chance to compete the Trust initiated an on-line workshop and resources with the fantastic help of the University of Otago Centre for Science Communication. The resources available on our website means no student will lack the background knowledge they need to participate. This year is also the first time the Trust has extended its activities into primary schools. Thirty-eight schools signed up to participate in the Junior EUREKA! Pilot Programme which asked Years 4 – 6 students to deliver a presentation to their class mates about a use of science or technology in their community. Discussions
