Matariki

We are learning to present our thinking and ideas in a range of ways.  

Context: Matariki

We will have been successful when we have gathered our vocabulary around Matariki and presented it in a word cloud on our learning blog.

We went to abcya.com to build our word clouds.

Matariki Poem

Matariki

Matariki the Māori New Year

Where whanau and tamariki gather midyear

Seven shining stars up in the freezing cold dark blue sky

Only being able to see whitu, with the naked eye

The loud rumbling of our hiakai stomachs

As we smell the delicious earthy smell of our reka kai cooking

In this special occasion

We hear the soft waiata of our Kapa Haka rōpū

      this is a moment to remember those who sadly passed

Matariki is here!
