Matariki Learning

We learnt this waiata in singing today with the Kowhai Team, it is about the seven stars of Matariki;

Waiti

Waita

Waipunarangi

Tupuanuku

Tupuarangi

Ururangi

and Matariki

We have also heard this pakiwaitara/story of the patu paraiarehe/fairy woman who try to trick Mitai's brothers...then they trap the woman and throw them up to the sky goddess to be the seven stars of Matariki.  Now we have found copies of the story in the library we have acted it out together and are taking turns reading the story with whaanau at home.
