Pania's mother, Arini Poutu, enthralled Rooms 1, 2 & 3 with a wonderful presentation about Matariki. The appearance in the eastern sky at this time of year of the seven star constellation known as Matariki defines the start of the Maori New Year. We learned a special song to sing and heard how Matariki is a time of family celebration and a time to look forward to the coming year. We watched a DVD of Pania, Kahu and their big brother Tane performing kapa haka with the Ngati Poneke Young Maori Club at the celebration of Matariki at Te Papa. Pania demonstrated the poi and Arini read us all a traditional Maori story. Thank you Arini and Pania!
