Kia ora everyone. My Matariki moment was when I first looked at the pattern of stars that make up Matariki. I realised that it actually looks like a massive fish hook (Matua) hanging in the sky. This to me is apt because we are actively praying and wishing for a good harvest year and what better image to look upon than something that represents strength, prosperity, fertility, good health and safe travel across water.
I am still learning little bits of Te Reo everyday by listening and understanding and will continue to actively use it in everyday work and play where and when I can.
Nga mihi nui, Bev Park
