Like me, these are my friends. I do have more but they are in a different class. 

Matariki Cloze Activity

Matariki is not only a group of stars it is also the name for the…Maori New Year

You can see the stars for most of the year but they    disappear     from the night sky in Aotearoa, New Zealand in late April and reappear in in late  Winter   May or  early June . When the stars appear     again and the new moon is risen it is the Maori New Year and there is much to celebrate.

The Seven Sisters 

The Matariki group of stars has other names as matariki One of its names is the Seven Sisters. In some stories Matariki is the name of the biggest  star . She is the eldest sister and she guides  her younger sisters to their places in the     sky          .  The old stories tell us that when the stars shine brightly   the year will be warm . There will be   crops       of seafood and plants will grow tall and strong  .

Celebrate

We can  celebrate         Matariki in many ways. It is a time for  sharing       family stories. It is a time for hearing  stories of the old days for learning about how people used the stars in the past. It is a time to  plant   trees and winter    crops   It is a time to fish. This is a time for making things, to learn how to   weave         and carve. It is a time for making and flying  kites    . Matariki is a time to make plans for the   future     and to forgive and forget problems of the    past     . It's a time to enjoy being with our  future    and friends.
