Museum Trip

On Thursday Team 2 visited Auckland Museum. We wanted to learn heaps more about Matariki and the Maori  New year. When we got there we had lunch. Room 26 went upstairs and the rest of us started downstairs. We ate our morning tea and then we put our bags in the lockers. Next we went to the Weird and wonderful room. We were in groups and 2 of them went up the ramp and the others went the other way. We saw a bear and then we went to the volcano room and the marae. We went into Whaea Jo and Whaea Leigh's room. In there we put on some ta moko. The girls got some ruru on their chins and then we made some ipu out of clay that we were allowed to take home. I felt happy because I loved making ipu and I liked the ta moko on my chin.

Magical Matariki

What is Matariki?

Matariki is when a group of seven stars come together in the sky. It is also when the Maori have new year. When the stars appear in late May of early June is the beginning of the Maori new year. The seven stars have another name it is the seven sisters. The biggest sister is Matariki she guides her younger siblings to their places in the sky. The old stories also tell us that when the stars shine brightly the year will be good for growing crops. There will be plenty of seafood to gather. We celebrate Matariki in lots of different ways. We fly and make kites. We catch kai moana too.
