Matariki Stars Exploration
A night at the weather station
At the weather station, Zoe and Anahera look up at the winter sky with their whānau. They spot Matariki, a cluster of stars that rises in the middle of the year in Aotearoa. Anahera uses a dark blue page to show the night sky. She adds bright dots for stars and draws a silver line to join some of them. Around the sky, she paints small shapes to remember people she loves and things she hopes for in the new year.
