Matariki is the Maori New Year, it is an important Maori celebration. The seven stars that make up Matariki are Matariki, Tupu-a-nuku, Waiti, Waita, Waipuna-a-rangi and Ururangi. There are lots of different ways to celebrate Matariki such as through music, songs, food and family.
In Room 8/26 we celebrated Matariki by having a feast, making star cookies, reflecting on our goals for the term, learning a waiata (song) and going to the Auckland Museum to learn more about Matariki.
