doing a report of matariki book
It is for the 20 book challenge.
I rate this book a 6 because i like the truth
of the Maori new year and how to celebrate
it.
A family celebrate the Maori New Year and talk
about what Matariki means to different people.
Here is some history about matariki.
The rising of the star constellation known as Matariki is an important time in the Maori calendar. It heralds in the Maori New Year, which is a time to connect with, and give thanks to the land, sea and sky.
It is also a time for the community to come together and acknowledge the year gone by, as well as, to celebrate and prepare for the year ahead. This involves the sharing of kai (food), rituals, entertainment, hospitality and knowledge.
You can be the expert when we study Matariki later this term!
