This week for Matariki Team – Tui have creating writing poems about Matariki and our five sense! We connect our senses to the stars and what the stars mean.
For example I used Tupu – A – Nuku for one of the stanzas because it represents ground grown crops and connected it to taste!
This task was slightly challenging but I really enjoyed it!

Matariki : Writing Poem
That Was Matariki
Have you ever tasted Matariki ?
Sure You Have!
Remember the fresh, ground grown crops?
The delicious sensation of healthiness and satisfying taste of hard – work, effort and achievement, put in the food you ate.
That Was Tupu – A – Nuku .
Have you ever felt Matariki ?
Sure You Have!
Remember that time the cold wind brushed against you?
The refreshing breeze pushed against your body? The fast and raging air moving around
You?
That Was Uru – Rangi
Have you ever tasted Matariki?
Sure you have!
Remember that time, when the whanau went fishing and diving and they brought back some delicious kina, shellfish and mussels? Remember the flavourful kaimoana the family enjoyed for dinner?
That was Waiti.
