Art & Singing
Today we were working on creating our stars for our Matariki art. We were listening to music as we did our art. Miss Zeier recorded us singing as we worked. Matariki means the seven sisters or the eyes of God. This is when we remember out families who have died. In the olden days Maoir people looked at the stars and if they were shining bright that means it would be a good year for planting crops. What do you know about Matariki?

Matariki signals a time for connecting with and giving thanks to the land,sea and sky.It is also a time to farewell those departed and celebrate new beginnings.
