Matariki Reflection Prompts

Matariki is a time to remember, reflect and look ahead. Choose what you feel comfortable sharing. You may write in English, te reo Māori, or a mixture of both.

Looking back

Take time to notice both the challenges and the good moments from the year.

1.What is one challenge from the past year that you are ready to leave behind, and what helped you get through it?

2.He aha tētahi wā pai i maumahara ai koe i tēnei tau? Describe a moment from this year that made you feel proud, grateful, or happy.

3.Matariki is also a time to remember people who have died. If you wish, write about someone you remember and a quality, story, or lesson you value about them. You may write about a person from your wider community instead.

Setting intentions

Think about the kind of year you would like to help create.

4.What is one achievable goal you would like to work towards this year? Explain one small step you could take first.

5.He aha ō hiahia mō tō whānau, mō te hunga rānei e manaaki ana i a koe? What is one hope you have for your family or the people who care for you?

Caring for people and place

Consider how everyday choices can support your wellbeing, your community, and the natural world.

6.What is one practical action you could take this year to care for te taiao (the environment)? Explain how your action could make a difference.

7.What positive habit would you like to strengthen? Describe when or how you could practise it.

8.Write a short reflection about Matariki that includes all four kupu: whānau (family), hapori (community), taiao (environment), and tūmanako (hope).
