A creative classroom activity for celebrating Matariki (the Māori New Year).

Hiwa-i-te-rangi is one of the 9 stars in the Matariki star cluster. It is known as the ‘wishing star’. This star has a connection to our hopes, dreams and aspirations for the year ahead.

The Process:
1. Draw patterns in the spaces around the star shape (use a black ball-point pen).
2. Colour.
3. Write a wish in the star.
4. Cut out around the outside black frame.
5. Display on the wall (you may like to do this so it looks like a patchwork quilt).

Three different templates are provided for you to select from. Two templates have pre-drawn patterns in the boxes at the bottom, and one is blank so your students can design their own patterns.

Included:
♦ Instructions
♦ Information card about Hiwa-i-te-rangi
♦ Template A – with patterns
♦ Template B – with patterns
♦ Template C - blank (draw your own patterns)

Made on A4 size paper.
Finished size of artwork (after cutting it out) is approx 18cm x 18cm.
