This week our poem and big book was about Matariki. 



 This was our big book about Matariki.

We know that...
  • Matariki is special celebration.
  • Matariki is also the name for the Maori New Year.
  • Matariki is a group of 7 stars.
  • Matariki is a time for sharing family stories.
  • Matariki is a time for learning about the land and how to care for it.
  • Matariki is a time to plant trees and winter crops.
  • Matariki is a time to fish and gather kaimoana.
  • It is a time for making things, to learn how to weave and carve.
  • It is a time for making and flying kites.


Room 5 is looking forward to celebrating Matariki next week.
