Marvellous Matariki Kites

 Kia ora Bloggers! Happy Matariki! How are you? On July 2nd we celebrated the Maori new year, meaning that the days get longer and spring is approaching. 

The Matariki star cluster has many, many different stories attached to it around the world. There were two we looked at. One about how Ranginui and Papatuanuku were separated by Tāne Mahuta, and how Tāwhirimatea was so angry he ripped out his eyes and threw thunderbolts to the sky, creating the cluster, and another story about 7 sisters making kites, and them going to the sky. Ururangi’s kite was different from the rest, it was rainbow coloured.  

In order to make our kites we mixed these stories to make out our kites. This is mine:


What other stories about Matariki have you heard?
