Main Idea:
There is a group of stars called the Matariki. These stars are very special because they only come out a certain time in the year and you can only see them in New Zealand. They disappear in late April and appear again late May or early June. When the stars appear we know that the new moon has risen and it is the beginning of the year. Matariki symbols the Maori New Year. We can celebrate Matariki in many ways it is a time for sharing family stories, learning about the land and how they look after it, learning about how people use the stars and plant crops.
My Questions:
Why does Matariki appear and disappear?
Why can you only see it in New Zealand?
(By the way, I have no other questions)
