Matariki the Maori New Year

            Matariki the Maori New Year – 2018  

Matariki signals the Māori New Year. It is a time of renewal and celebration in New Zealand that begins with the rising of the Matariki star cluster (the Pleiades or Seven Sisters).

Matariki is a star cluster which appears in the night sky during mid-winter. According to the Maramataka (the Māori lunar calendar), the reappearance of Matariki brings the old lunar year to a close and marks the beginning of the new year. Hence, Matariki is associated with the Māori New Year. Here is a photo to see the Matariki stars.

Musical theatre reflection

Moana

1. Our group song

We know the way - From Moana.

What is the song about? A girl sailed to sea trying to restore the heart of Tefiti and to
make her island live again.

What is difficult about singing this song? Memorising the lyrics because it's in a different languages.

How are you feeling about your performance? We are all shy but also exited about it but
no one is singing so they are shy.

2. The story of Maui

Who is Maui?

He pulled the islands out of the sea

He helped Moana restore the heart.
