This week marks the start of Matariki. Matariki marks the beginning of the Maori new year and a time to remember those that have passed as well as new life. Matariki is the name of the Pleiades star cluster and the season of its first rising in late May or early June each year.
There are some great things to learn about Matariki on the Kiwi Kids News website and plenty of stories of Matariki on youtube.
It looks like Wednesday will be the best evening for viewing the stars of Matariki in our skies.
I hope you have fun learning about Matariki. We will be continuing this during the week at school too.
From Ms. Grant.
