The nine visible stars include:
Matariki - health, well being.
Tupuārangi - food that grows in the trees, and birds
Waipuna-ā-Rangi - rain and it’s rejuvenating properties.
Waitī - fresh water and food from it
Tupuānuku - food that grows in soil
Ururangi - looks after winds - calms them to a gentle breeze
Waitā - food from the sea - Kai moana
Pōhutukawa - loved ones who have died
Hiwa-i-te-Rangi - grants our wishes for the coming year:
We have enjoyed making our own stars and kites. We have learned how to do a hangi and written about special feasts that we have with our families.
Enjoy your time with family over the holidays and look out for the special stars between the 13th and 19th of July.
