Making Matariki Lanterns!

Yesterday our buddy class visited us to help us make Matariki lanterns! Matariki is a celebration of Maori New Year which is based around 7 bright stars. In mid May the stars disappear and they reappear in mid June. Their reappearance is when Matariki starts. We made our lanterns using tin cans, and on each side of the lanterns we made 7 holes to represent the 7 Matariki stars. Thank you to our buddy class for helping us with the hammering!
