What is matariki (social studies)

On Monday, Mr Langley came in to teach us about paragraph structures and what a good paragraph consist of. We were given an article about Matariki and were told to write a paragraph of the four main points on Matariki.

My Paragraph:
Matariki is the Maori New Year, This is celebrated on the last few days of May and can last up to three days. When matariki disappears in Autumn it signals the time to harvest and plant crops for the upcoming winter. Nowadays, Matariki is important as it brings people together to celebrate the Maori New Year.
