Matariki 2017

Matariki is the Māori name for a cluster of stars known as Pleiades. It means 'Eyes of God' or 'Tiny Eyes'. It is also the name for the Māori New Year celebration.  Pod 1 & 2 celebrated Matariki by creating their own manu tū (kites) and then flying them with their whanau (family).  They started out by colouring in the Māori patterns and then used special twine to create a tail.
