Matariki

 Today in Maori we are learning about Matariki. Matariki is Maori New Year for all New Zealanders. We have to tell you three facts about Matariki. There are 9 stars/sisters but there used to be 7 stars/sisters because 2 of them were faint. Matariki is a cluster of stars. Matariki has many different names around the world.

Matariki - Seven Sisters

This week for literacy we had do re tell the story of The Seven stars of Matariki because this week is Matariki. We listened to the writer read the story we had to make notes so when we make our slide show we know what to do.My buddy´s were Merika and Riansha is my buddy´s.The story was about Mitai the youngest and his 7 brothers living in the village of Maketu and they loved no one else but their else because no one could match their beauty.One day all of them went hunting up a mountain when they got to the top they saw beautiful woman they all fell in love except for Mitai because he knew that they were patuaiarehe  fairy woman. Mitai knew something was going on the woman planned to starve them all to death the men became skinny and their looks faded away then they captured the woman they took them to the go. Here are my buddy´s blog (Rainsha) (Merika). Here is my work. I hope you like it. Sorry its not done
