T2 Week 9 - Matariki

Happy Matariki! Matariki (Maori New Year) was celebrated from 25-28th June this year. 

It marks the start of the Maori year.  Over the past few weeks we have been learning about this celebration through stories.  During Matariki, a small cluster of 7 stars appears in the sky.  There are many stories to explain this star cluster such as the seven kites, the seven sisters, and the seven fish.
