Matariki

My Highlight of Matariki day was fun.And there where also 2 teams it was 16 kids in one team and the other 16 kids were making kites. I was in the cooking group first.we baked star cookies with icing The colour of the for the icing is Blue, yellow,red,orange,green and Purple.
That is my day of Matariki day on Friday. We also in school celebrate Matariki because it is a nice thing to do  right especially in school with other people And Different teachers right.

And Matariki is a new year tradition where Maori people like to celebrate the hole day and never stop.








We should celebrate Matariki day because........

Matariki is about the Maori New year.


People gather together during Matarikri to survive the winter Months. There are many exciting events that take place throughout  Matarikri Festivals such as kite making, storytelling,dance performance, arts and crafts and cooking.

And there also is a special event in Glenn Innes Maybury Reserve.
