Matariki

     We have been learning about Matariki. 
Did you know that Matariki is a celebration of the Maori New Year?
We have been looking at the 7 Matariki stars. 
Did you know the Maori word for star is whetu?         We read some books about Matariki.


We did some planting as part of our Matariki celebration. We planted snow peas-yum!
We listened to a song to help us learn the Matariki stars. You can practise singing it at home.
Matariki Song
           We also made some Matariki kites.


Tomorrow we are ending our week of Matariki learning with something special-I wonder if you can guess what it might be?
