Here is my speech i hope you like it.

Matariki story

Critical Thinking Questions: 

• Why is Matariki particularly important for our NZ Nation?

Matariki is important to NZ because it has been celebrated by Maori as the new year for generations

• Should we all celebrate, just those who choose to, or just Maori people?

I think we should all celebrate it as one because it will bring NZ closer together.

• How long has Matariki been celebrated for?

Maori have celebrated Matariki for generations and generations.

Practical thinking Questions:

• Go back and look at your calendar/camera roll and see what you were doing on 15th June last year. Were you celebrating Matariki? Either way, make sure to book it in for this year!

We had a shared lunch to celebrate matariki last year.

• Think of an awesome way Matariki could be celebrated at school?

We could go around the field with other classes and do different fun activities.

• Do you think we should have a public holiday for Matariki? If so, get out there and write a letter/give a call to your Local MP explaining why! Yes

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you to explain why i think we should have a public holiday to celebrate Matariki in New Zealand. I feel it would help to bring us all together as New Zealanders in a fun way. It would be a great way for us to learn about stars, constellations and clusters of stars. I also feel its of more importance to New Zealanders than say the queens birthday.

I hope can think about my reasons.

Regards,

Vincent
