Matariki is a Maori celebration which comes every year on 15 of June. Matariki means in English eyes of God and also Matariki is the oldest of the seven Matariki stars. We celebrate Matariki because of the planting that we do and the time to plant our crops. We also celebrate Matariki to say thank you to the land gods for what they have done and it is an important festival for the Maori people.
I think that Matariki should be a public holiday because everyone around the world will know about Matariki. We should also have Matariki a public holiday so we can spend time with our family and friends and remember all the fun times that we had and so teachers and also workers can get a day off like Labour Day, Christmas, Queen’s birthday and also Anzac day.

Aloha mai e Eden,
WOW Eden Matariki should be
holiday so that we kids can
have a exart weekend you think
great and nice.
I feel that what you
are thinking kids
should be allowed and
to have time with their family.
I made one on Matariki too.
What would you do if it
was a public holiday?
Fakaalofa lahi atu Eden, I agree about Matariki being a public holiday because you can relax with your family and friends. What would you do if you were on holiday.
