Matariki is seven stars, which make a constellation. Matariki is a time to celebrate New Year. Matariki is a time to eat kai. Mataiki is a very special time.

Matariki is about the seven sisters and the seven kites. The kits flew away and the little people ran to get their kites so that they can fly them up high so so so so much. But the seven kites didn't come back, so the seven sisters just got new kites. The lost kites turned into stars. Now they start the New Year.

Matariki is seven sisters. Matariki is a time to celebrate the New Year. Matariki is in May and June. In the New Year Maori people eat kai. Maori people make an oven under ground. It is called a hangi. When Matariki comes we make kites. The seven sisters are actually stars. The seven sisters made kites and then they went to sleep. Then the kites flew into the sky. They are stars now.
