Matariki

Matariki

We have been learning all about Matariki in MR Class. We read a book called ‘Matariki’ that taught us lots of new information. I wonder if you can answer the questions from the story:

What is the name for the Maori New Year?

When do the stars appear and disappear?

What are the names of the seven stars?

What are some ways we can celebrate Matariki?

In MR Class we made kites to celebrate Matariki. Everyone brought in some items from home to stick on their kite. They turned out really neat!

We also made some goals to celebrate Matariki. We had a think about what we need to get better at. Miss Rowe gave us a little guidance to help us but we all got to choose our own goals. See if you can tell your parents and friends your goals.
