Matariki

Last week on Friday Pt England School had a big event, It was a Matariki day.

Matariki is about celebrating the Maori New Year.

In the sky at night from 13 - 16 July you can see 7 - 9 stars. 

My highlight from the Matariki day was play sports over and over again. I forgot the name of the game but it seemed really fun.

The whole New Zealand should copy Gleen Innes and put up some matariki lights, It would look really cool the whole country would be glowing and the reason why we should celebrate it is because of people, culture, language, spirituality and history. Matariki is also when you get together with your family and friends, watch Kapa Haka  performance, Talk to others about the past history and lots more.

Hopefully you know some celebration facts of matariki it would be really cool to learn it.
