Matariki



We have been learning about Matariki which is the Maori New Year.















Matariki is special because it is when it is the Maori New Year. There are seven stars when it is Matariki and they are called Uru-a-rangi,Tupu-a-rangi,Waipuna-a-rangi,Tupu-a-nuku,Matariki,Waiti and Waita. Our hub celebrated Matariki by doing workshops. The workshop that I did was flax weaving. Flax weaving is when you get a piece of Harakiki(Flax) and overlap them. We made flowers which were roses and another flower. These are the flowers that I made. I also did planting with Mr Cotrell. We planted our own seeds that will turn into trees.I planted a harakiki bush (Flax).
