Today Whaea Ngareta talked to us about Matariki. We watched a video which told us one of the stories behind Matariki. The Matarrki stars were Tane Mahuta's tears that he had thrown into the sky. We celebrate Matariki by sharing Kai and getting together with family. Matariki is the Maori new year.
I love the way you have linked your inquiry about space to learning about Matariki. The idea of Tane Mahutas tears being stars is a lovely legend
