We had a whānau get together to celebrate Matariki.
We think Matariki is a time to gather with family to reflect on the past, celebrate the present, count our blessings and plan for the future.
I made a boil up of pork and vegetables, and made fried bread for the first time.
Our 4 year old granddaughter said karakia before we ate, and my husband said a few words about Matariki and special whānau times.
We told the children about
the Matariki stars and the stories behind them, and they were able to see the stars through a telescope.
They were all in awe.
It was a very memorable time.
