Matariki

 Hello everybody,  this term we are learning about matariki and we are going to be learning about it for two more weeks and learn heaps of Maori games and in week 7 and it will be about 15 minutes long. Right now we are doing a task where we have to name 3 facts about matariki.

1. Matariki is the Maori New Year and that's because the Maori relied on the stars for a lot and matariki also shows them its a good time to start planting all their crops.
2. The matariki stars are also a logo for a Japanese car brand called Subaru.
3. There are originally 7 stars but in the last couple years they found 2 more stars so now there are a total of nine stars.
