Term 2 Week 8: Matariki

Continuing our theme of  songs  and music for specific purposes, this week we are looking at the Maori festival of Matariki.

Here's some more information about Matariki. 

Here's a song to help you remember the names of the stars of Matariki.

Waiti

Waita

Waipuna -  a – rangi

Tupu – a – nuku

Tupu – a  -  rangi

Uru – a – rangi   te potiki

ko to ka hoe Matariki


Here's another version of the lyrics:

Waiti

Waita

Waipuna -  a – rangi

Tupu – a – nuku

Tupu – a  -  rangi

Ko Uru – a – rangi   te potiki

O te whanau Matariki
