Matariki Acrostic Poem
Matariki symbolises a Maori celebration and also indicates a planting season.
Around late May and early June you may see the nine stars shining in the night sky.
There are nine stars in Matariki according to a Maori astronomer.
A long time ago Maori use to eat Moa and native rats.
Ranginui and Papatuanuku are the nine stars Grandfather and Grandmother.
If you can not see the stars it’s bad luck.
Kumara is a good plant to grow on Matariki.
If you can see the nine stars sparkle it’s good luck and it’s going to be a great year.
