We are celebrating Matariki at Wesley Primary. Matariki is the nine stars of the sisters, it represents the Maori new year. We made kites! First we got paper and cut it into a diamond, we got two long sticks and made a cross. We tied a string to it. The kites were used to celebrate. They fly it up in the bright blue sky, it sends a message to our loved ones who have passed away. They fly up kites to talk with the Gods so that the people know what they want. It is a connection between Papatuanuku and Ranginui.
