Matariki celebrations in Rooms 16 and 20

This afternoon Rooms 16 and 20 began celebrations for Matariki or Maori New Year.  We learnt about Maori Stick Games Tititorea and Mau Rakau.

We know there are 7 whetu or stars: Waiti, Waita, Waipuna-a-rangi, Tupuanuku, Tupuarangi, Ururangi, and Matariki.  This year 2 new stars were discovered Hiwaiterangi and Pohutukawa.
