Seven sisters in the sky so high,
Twinkling, sparkling way up high.
Matariki tells us winter's here,
A special time we hold so dear.

Stars that dance in morning light,
Guiding us through winter's night.

Time for family, time to cheer.
Seven stars to wish upon,
From early night till early dawn.

Little tui in the tree,
Singing songs so sweet to me.
Blue and green with white so bright,
What a pretty, lovely sight!

Fantail flutters here and there,
Dancing, twirling in the air.
Tail spread wide like a little fan,
Following me wherever I can.

Hop, hop, hop goes the sparrow small,
Looking for crumbs by the garden wall.
Chirp, chirp, chirp in the morning sun,
Sparrow thinks that life is fun!

Buzzy bee flies flower to flower,
Working hard hour by hour.
Yellow stripes and wings so clear,
Buzzing songs for all to hear.

Flutter, flutter, butterfly,
Pretty wings up in the sky.
Orange, yellow, red and blue,
Flying flowers, just for you!

Slowly, slowly goes the snail,
Carrying home upon his trail.
When it rains he likes to play,
Sliding, gliding all the day.

Poem 10: Growing Tree Strong tree with green leaves and birds in branches

Big strong tree with branches wide,
Birds and bugs can come inside.
Leaves that whisper in the breeze,
Home for friends like you and me.
