When the Matariki stars appear it is the beginning of the Maori new year
We celebrate Matariki like we celebrate your birthday
Like sisters the stars shine bright like a diamond
Matariki is a time for joy like when I go to the trip
It is a time to learn like like when am at school
It is a time to plant crops like pumpkin
It is a time to fish and hunt
It is a time to make things like art
It is a time to for give to my mum
Matatriki reminds me of the new year because we celebrate with fireworks.
