Matariki Waiata

It is Matariki, the Maori New Year, this week and EHS have been celebrating in lots of different ways. We will share some of the exciting things we have been doing in our classes soon, but in the meantime, here is a great waiata that you could learn. It is all about the constellation of seven stars being children, and is a nice reminder to be happy in this change of the seasons and hope of new things to come about in the year ahead. Just click on the link below to hear the song and see the words. http://www.tepapa.govt.nz/Education/OnlineResources/Matariki/Pages/matarikiwaiata.aspx Thanks to Miss Wallace in A9 for finding this great waiata!
