Matariki Report

Matariki is a common celebration for Maori citizens. Maori people celebrate Matariki in different ways, like: fishing, flying kites, planting and harvesting. Matariki is a Maori name for the Cluster of Stars known as pleiades. Matariki literally means: Eyes of God or Mata ariki or small eyes. Ranginui - sky father and papatuanuku - Earth mother got separated from their naughty children. And Tawhirimatea - God of the wind got so angry that he tore his eyes out and threw them to the Heavens. Traditionally Matariki is a time for remembering those loved ones who have passed and also a time to plant and harvest food in the store houses and a good time to dance and also singing. But Matariki got stopped in the 1940’s. The stars names are: Matariki, Tupuarangi, waipuna-a-rangi, waiti, Tupuanuku, ururangi, waita, pohutukawa and Hiwa-i-te-rangi.

 Goldilocks & the Three Bears/ Samoan

I aso lava la ua leva, sa iai PEA e tolu. O le Pea tele lapoa ole tama, ole Pea feololo ole Tina, male Pepe Pea laititi. O le latou malu taeao masani ole polesi. I se tasi taeao, sa alu le savaliga a Pea nei e tolu, a’o loo tau fa’ama’alili le latou polesi ua ova le vevela. Sa iai le teineititi sa savali mai ile togavao, sa ui tonu mai ile fale o Pea e tolu ma fa’amatatasi ile faamalama olo’o

Na tofo e Goldilocks le polesi a le tama o Pea. 

“Fiolae” ua ova le o’ona!” Na uma toe tofo male polesi ale tina o Pea. “ Oka Oka e”. “Ua ova le suamalie!” Mulimuliane, sa tofo loa ile polesi a le Pepe Pea. “Oi sole!” “Lea la” sa uma lelei ona ai e o’o lava i mea sa panupanu ile ipu. Na savali i tumutumu vae i totonu ole fale ma tau atu i nufoa e tolu ma faapea ane, “O le a ou saofai loa.” O le tele tele ole nufoa sa toe oso ese ai. O le vaivai tele ole nufoa feololo sa le mafai ai ona toe aluese. Ole, nufoa laititi sa faapea e fetaui lelei mo ia. Peitai e oso tu i luga ae salalau tasi.

Sa matuai popole lava, ma alu loa i le sitepu i luga. Na tau atu i moega e tolu, ma fa’ata’ita’i uma. Ole moega tele ua maualuga tele. Ole moega feololo ua maualalo tele. Mulimuliane tau atu ile moega la’ititi, e fetaui lelei. Sa faapena loa ona taoto ma moe loa.

Mulimuli ane, na omai Pea e tolu mole latou malutaeao. “E iai le kagaka ua ga aia la’u polesi!” ole oke lea a pea toeina. “Ua ai foi ele tagata la’u polesi!” ole tala lea ale Tina o Pea. “E iai le kagaka ua ga aia la’u polesi ma ua uma lelei leai mase mea o totoe” ole tagi lea a Pepe Pea.

Sa tilotilo atu pea e tolu i latou nufoa. “E iai le tagata sa nofo i la’u nufoa!”ole oke lea ale pea toeina. “E iai foi le tagata sa nofo i la’u nufoa!” ole tala lea a le Tina o Pea. “Sa gofo foi le tagata i la’u nufoa ma o lele ua malepe ninii!” ole tagi lea a Pepe Pea. Na alu le solo a Pea e tolu i luga le sitepu. “E iai le tagata sa moe i lo’u moega!” ole oke lea a Pea toeina. “E iai le tagata sa moe i lo’u moega!” ole tala le ale Tina o Pea. “E iai foi le tagata sa moe i lo’u moega ma o lea lava e i!” ole tagi lea a Pepe Pea.

Ole pisapisao na avea ma mea e ala ai Goldilocks. Na matua’i lagona le fefe ole teine ina ua tilotilo ane oloo tutu i ona luma Pea e tolu. ‘Auoi!” Sa tagi le tamaitai. “Auoi! Auoi! Auoi!” Sa puna ese mai Goldilocks ma faanatinati ese atu loa mai le fale o Pea nei e tolu, e lei toe foi ane lava.
