Matariki

Matariki

In the Maori language, Matariki is both the name of the Pleiades star cluster and also of the season of its first rising in late May or early June. This is a marker of the beginning of the new year. Twinkling in the winter sky just before dawn, Matariki (the Pleiades) signals the Maori New Year. Traditionally, it was a time for remembering the dead, and celebrating new life. In the 21st century, observing Matariki has become popular again. Heaven-bound kites, hot-air balloons and fireworks help mark the occasion. It is 7 sisters and its about family Bye!!

Dinosaurs in New Zealand

Dinosaurs in New Zealand 

What evidence is there that new Zealand had Dinosaurs 

Although it is hardly ever you will find fossils because you will never see them all the time due to the conditions in new Zealand only small parts of bones and a few vertebrate have been found here.

What is a fossil and what information do they give you ?

A fossil  is an old bone and they tell you what they eat and how lone the bones have been in the ground for. 

Which dinosaur do you think would have service the best in New Zealand? 

I think Brontosaurus Dinosaurs because they eat trees and we have a lot of plants and trees in the world.
