Hi Hope, my name is Miriam. I go to Wainui Beach School in Gisborne. I really enjoyed your blog post about Matariki and how you told me what the meaning of Matariki, what the names of the stars are and how the Maori use Matariki as a signal for when to plant their crops after the long winter. I can't wait to read your next blog post. Bye and see you next time.
ReplyDeleteHi Hope, my name is Sarah and I go to Wainui Beach School.
ReplyDeleteI like it that you know such a lot of things about the seven sisters that I don't know. This reminds me about when our class made Matariki stars.
Where did you learn all this? Sarah

I like your description of Matariki! Have you seen Matariki in the sky before? Does your family celebrate Matariki?
