Matariki

  

for reading this term we are learning about Matariki here is what I did :

Matariki

By Caleb

How can we remember Matariki?

 Matariki signals the beginning of the Māori New Year. It is a time of renewal and celebration in New Zealand that begins with the rising of the Matariki star cluster. Matariki means 'tiny eyes' or 'eyes of God'.

Matariki signals the Māori New Year and June And July it changes every year because of the lunar calendar

We celebrate Matariki by getting together and remembering whānau who have died,  sharing food and telling the stories of the pasted.  There is singing and playing music, sharing food, telling the stories of the past, singing and playing music.

The Matariki story. The children of the earth mother  Papatuanuku and sky father, Ranginui, were divided over whether to separate them and bring light and life to the earth. Eventually, Tane Mahuta, the god of the forest, laid on his back and used his feet to force them apart and it brought out the stars 

For Matariki I could ask my family to Bake matariki Cookies and go down to the fireworks.

When I did this Matariki form I started to realize what Matariki is about 

It is about remembering whānau who have died and sharing food with friends and whānau.
