term 2 - week 9-10 - matariki
learn
We are learning all about Matariki.
What is Matariki?
Matariki is the Māori name for a group of stars. The science name is the Pleiades and instead of ‘group’ they call it a star cluster.
It signalled the start of the Māori New Year for some tribes. Maori people followed a lunar calendar. That means that the months were organised around the moon. Marama is the name for moon. That is why the calendar is called Maramataka.
When is Matariki?
Matariki appears just before dawn in late May or early June. Different tribes celebrated Matariki at different times. Some celebrated when it was first seen. Some celebrated at the first new moon or full moon after the Matariki was seen. We now celebrate Matariki as the new Maori year, when the first full moon is seen.
Matariki is a happy event – crops had been harvested and seafood and birds had been collected. With plenty of food in the storehouses, Matariki was a time for singing, dancing and feasting.
Check out these great videos to help us learn about Matariki.

Week 8-10 - America's Cup
Last week Team New Zealand won the 36th America's Cup! We loved watching the races but what do we know about the America's Cup. Let's find out a little bit more!
nz-t-2548926-americas-cup_ver_1.pptxClick on this link to read the article
Peter Burling was the youngest helmsman NZ has ever had. He has been sailing for a long time. He has been sailing since he was a young boy. He has won many races including a gold and silver medal at the Olympic Games.
When he was 11, he aimed to sail in the America's Cup one day. He achieved that goal in 2017 and again in 2021!
The America’s Cup is a competition between two sailing teams - the defender and the challenger. Team New Zealand was the defender and Italy's Luna Rossa was the challenger.
Peter Burling was the helmsman for Team NZ and Jimmy Spithill was the helmsman for Luna Rossa.
The competition was the best of nine races. This means the first team to win five races wins the America’s Cup.
The trophy is called the 'Auld Mug' and is sport's oldest trophy.
