Matariki waiata - Saturday 28th June 2014!

Matariki, Matariki

Ko te tau hou o te iwi Māori

Tahi, rua, toru, whā

Rima, ono, whitu

Ngā whetu e whitu

Matariki, Matariki

Ko te wā o te hauhakenga

He tohu hoki o te tau e whai ake nei

Matariki, Matariki

He maha ngā kōrero

He mea mīharo

Me whakanui e tātou!

Matariki, the Māori New Year

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

The seven  stars

Matariki ,the time of harvest (eating the fruits from)

It is a sign whether it will be a good year i.e. for planting food

Matariki, there are lots of stories/talk about Matariki

An amazing thing

Let’s celebrate!
