Matariki


Yesterday we spent the day learning about Matariki.If you are lucky enough to see Matariki in the sky, please post a comment and tell us what you saw, when you saw it, and where you looked to find it.
During the day we watched the following videos. There were three videos. They are one of the Maori Myths behind Matariki, and the same as the book we read in class.
