Matariki...Celebrate!!!
Kia ora koutou. Today we are celebrating Matariki. It can mean a number of fantastic things. For example, it is a time when the Maori people know when to plant crops, if the winter will be cold depending on how close the stars are. Also it is a time to reflect and be thankful and celebrate everything in your life.
