Matariki

We are learning so many wonderful things about Matariki.

Did you know that Matariki means 'tiny eyes' in english
Did you know that Matariki is the Maori New Year
There are 7 stars that make up the Matariki constellation. It disappears from our skies and then reappears.
If the stars are hazy it means a cold year. If they are bright and clear the year will be amazing! Did you know on Saturday morning they were clear and bright YIPPEE.









We made our very own constellation, we hung them on the wall.
Did you know Matariki is a time for preserving food?
