maori

Today we were learning how to weave fish out of paper. Today for Maori we were learning about what is Matariki. Matariki is a celebration of a new year which is call Maori new year. This is on June the 15th. This a very special to the Maori people. This is done by gathering food and family to come and have a big feed to celebrate the new Maori new year. The Maori's knew this from the seven stars that show in the sky each year. We also are having a Matariki gathering on the last Wednesday of this term. We are having sausage sizzles, performances, and a assembly. we also learnt how to weave a fish out of paper and this was so fun that i never finished mine till now.
