What is Matariki?
It's the Māori New Year. There are Stars
What do you know about it?
There are 9 or 7 stars.
It's a good time to start something new.
It's a good time to plant something new to eat.
It happens in May or June every year.
It's a good time to remember your ancestors.
What happens?
You have a feast
You fly a kite
You can have a festival.
We can see the Matariki stars in the morning.
What have you seen?
The Matariki stars shining on my deck in the morning.
What should we find out?
We should find out what day it is going to be on - Henry thinks it is on the 24th June.
We need to find out what the stars are called and what they mean or represent.
