Mānawatia a Matariki!
Ko te mahutatanga o Matariki ki te rangi e tohu ana i te tau hou Māori – He wā hokinga mahara, he wā whakahou, he wā whakanui anō hoki.
He pūrākau, he kōrero kei tēnā, kei tēnā o ngā whetū e iwa o Matariki. Mātakihia tēnei kiriata kia ako ai i ngā whetū me te whakamāramatanga o Matariki.
Tēnā, haria mai tō whānau ki te whare toi, ka piri mai ai ki a mātou ki te whakanui i a Matariki ā te 14 o Hōngongoi. Tirohia te whānuitanga o ngā taipitopito ki konei.
