New Years Celebrations

Last week we learnt the waiata Nga Tamariki O Matariki.  It is a song about Matariki and while we were learning it we also discussed other ways people in A3 celebrated New Years.  Here is Rohit, Tanzeela, Vicky and Nicole telling us about their New Years celebrations.

It was Matariki, Maori New Year, today.  We have been learning about Matariki this week and reading different legends about it.  Here are Jett and Hayzel reading the Matariki stories they have written.  Tomorrow we will be celebrating Matariki with a feast and kite flying.
