Matariki

            What do you know about Matariki?                                                                                            Matariki is a cluster of stars named Matariki. Many Iwi celebrate Matariki many diffrent ways.    

When the people from long long ago would use the stars to see what type of season it was going to be. Every year in late May or late June. If it was going to be a good season the stars would be shiny. 

A constellation is a group of stars forming a recognizable pattern. 


If I had to list two ways Maori people celebrate Matariki these are the things I would do:
  
1. Have a big feast (hangi)
2. Go to the beach and look at the stars

During Matariki, people celebrate with music , songs, dancing, food and family.

Maori also tell legions to the whanau.

My family celebrates Christmas together.

THAT IS THE END OF MY MATARIKI HUI!!      

  

France

Bonjour. Did you know in France they only have one language and that is ……. French. But if some people are smart enough they can also speak English. Salut and Au revoir mean goodbye in French. In their language thanks is merci. Comment allez-vous means how are you? 

In France the foods that they most like to eat are Baguette (French Bread), Soupe à l'Oignon Gratinée (Onion Soup), and Croque-Monsieur (Ham and Cheese Sandwich).
