Matariki

In class we have been leaning about Matariki. We have seen a play at school about Matariki and they have told us all about Matariki.

Matariki is the Maori new year and a time for celebration.

Matariki is a group of stars known as the seven sisters. They are also called Gods eyes or little eyes. Their names are Waiti, Waita, Waipuna-a-rangi, Tupu-a-nuku, Tupu-a-rangi, Ururangi and Matariki.

The seven sisters come out in late May and early June.

Did you know about Matariki? Feel free to comment on my Matariki post and I hope you have learnt a lot on my post.

Survival

We went to camp at Spencer pack on Wednesday and we did a session called forest survivor and we did hut building. It was fun and we ate huhu grubs.  I am going to tell you how to survive when you are in the forest or you might be going for a walk.  You will need water, food and sometimes you will need warm clothes and shelter and if you are staying the night then you will need a fire.
