Matariki Day
On Monday our teacher Ms Tapuke split the class into two groups. My group was Latitude and the other group that worked with us was Cartesian. We had to solve this Maths equation.

Matariki
Different tribes celebrate Matariki at different times.
To some tribes the new year in mid-winter was signalled by
the dawn rising of Matariki (the Pleiades), while to others it
was the rising of Puanga (Rigel in Orion). For many iwi the
appearance of Puanga in the night sky signalled the start of
winter. Puanga was said to be one of the parents of the climbing
plant puawānanga.
