Maui and the sun

 Once there was a strong tough  warrior called Maui. His  tough brothers had muscles. They lived beside the river. They tried to fish but the sun was going speedy in the sky. They went to the sun's grey cave and they waited and waited and then the sun rose up. Next they threw the strong rope and Maui told the sun to slow down a bit and he did. Now there was a enaugh time to go fishing and enjoy the sun.

Matariki

What is Matariki? Matariki  is about the seven stars or seven sisters. Matariki is when you celebrate a new year. They go away at the end of April and when it's Autumn. The whole stars have a name. The older sisters name is Matariki. How do we celebrate Matariki? This is how you can celebrate Matariki. You can fly a kite or you build a boat or do some farming. Or you can share stories.
