Matariki is the Maori new year and it was a time when they planted new crops and the eels get bigger and fatter.
Today in Totara we where learning Matariki is about the seven sisters. We did lots of fun work shops. I did weaving and planting. I did weaving first, it took along time for me to know how to make this beautiful flakes (flax) rose. Next we went out to cut some more flakes (flax). Then we made a normal flour (flower) that was even harder to make it but it was all where-fit (worth it) at the end.
The second thing I did was planting and was fun because we went around the school and look for good trees and bad trees. One of the bad trees is the pine tree the reason that it is bad is because it sack (sucks) out all of the life out of the ground and every thing around it die and all pine trees should be though into the sea.
