Matariki 2024

Kia ora I te whanau, today I am here with another blog post, and in Wananga, we are learning about “Matariki”, Matariki is the star clusters that are up in the sky, My favorite star out of all of the clusters is my brother’s star “Puanga”, Puanga is the star that is only comes out in the morning and he is a bright star that is really bright.

Write a paragraph about how Tawhirimatea might have felt when he threw his eyes into the sky.

After the war with Tumatauenga, he felt he was in anger and he pulled his eyes out and threw them up in the sky.
