Matariki.

                                                               Matariki. 

Matariki is a cluster of stars, also known as the 7 sisters, and the Maori new year. A constellation is a group of stars forming imaginary outlines or meaningful patterns.. The stars should appear around late May or early June. The Maori believe if the stars are bright it will be a good season for harvesting crops. Maori read the ''Maori god stories'' which are legends and myths from the past. Some adults celebrate Matariki with a delicious hangi. Matariki has many different names around the world. Matariki is one of the closest star clusters to earth!  My favourite thing about matariki is having a hangi with friends and family. I hope this story helped you learn a bit more about Matariki.


these are the stars.

Italy!!

italy Ciao, Italy is located in the beautiful atlantic ocean of europe. The flags colors are green, white, and red with a pattern of lines. The 3 official languages are Italian, german, and french!

Did you know italy is home to some very famous foods, such as pizza. I’m pretty sure everyone knows what that looks like. Another food is pasta, again just pasta. Also, caprese salad is a good something for healthy people, and brucita country bread with different italian toppings.

Grazie means thanks in Italian, basically like a grassy lawn but much different. If you wanna be extra nice and make someone's day ask “come va” which is ‘’how are you’’ in Italian.

The name Italy comes from the word italia witch means calf land. BONUS FACT!!!! The population in 2018 is fifty-nine million two hundred ninety-eight thousand one hundred and eighty-six people. Grazie for listening, i hope you enjoyed!

Addio!! Btw that means goodbye.
