title:ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MATARIKI
In the beggining of June seven stars rise in the eastern sky a couple of weeks later a new full moon appears! This is matariki.
In the olden days when the maori lived here they celebrated matariki this is because it is the maori new year.
This is a good time to fly kites ,do kupa huka and plant tree's. Another thing about matariki is in early June when you look up at the sky to see the seven stars they could be fading or really bright. is they are fading this means is going to be a bad year. if they are really bright you are going to have a good year. matariki is a good time to enjoy your self with your family, and this year in room 5 we celebrated by making seven stars and decorating them with all things about matariki.
