Majestic Matariki kites
Kia ora blogger's Ajay here
On the 2 July, we celebrated the Māori New Year, a time to consider the year ahead. The days are starting to lengthen and spring will soon be here, we just need to get through this cold winter first!
Matariki and the Pleiades star cluster, have got many stories attached to them. We looked at two; one about how Ranginui and Papatuanuku were separated by Tāne Mahuta, and how Tāwhirimatea was so angry he ripped out his eyes and threw thunderbolts to the sky, creating the cluster, and another story about 7 sisters making kites, and them going to the sky.
Ururangi’s kite was different from the rest, it was rainbow coloured. We have mixed these two stories to create the design of our kites.
My kite has Taniwha and then I have covered it with clouds. I then coloured it in like a rainbow.
hope you liked it do you know any stories about Matariki? See you next time and have a great day bye.
