Matariki celebration

LI:To celebrate matariki
This week on Wednesday Panmure Bridge celebrated Matariki. We had performances by the cuppa haka group senior and junior, Drum group, Ucalali group, and the pecifica group. I enjoyed the the drumming group the best. After all the performances  everyone had to form a lines to get sausages, but if they were vegetarians they had to go the kitchen they got vegetarians sausages. Because I didn't like sausages I didn't have any. Mrs fiya Odia donated the sausages.

Mataio had to do a job for Mr Mat an Mrs Lily.

Matariki

LI:To learn about matariki.
This week for Maori we learned about Matariki.  Matariki is a Maori new year. It happens every year on 15 of June. We know if it is Matariki because seven bright star appear in the sky, and their names are: Matariki, Waita, Waiti,  Uru arangi, Tupu arangi, Tupua nuku, and Waipuna a Rangi. In English, it is called the Pleiades. In Japan It is called Subaru.
We watched videos. I watched This one. We celebrate by having a feast and singing song. Also some people make kites.
