Matariki Waiata and story

This week we've been learning a new song about Matariki. Many of you have shown your talent in singing! Here is the video of the song.




Lyrics and translation: 
Waiti Waita Waipunarangi
Tupuanuku Tupuarangi Ururangi e
Koinei nga tamariki o Matariki (These are the children of Matariki)
Nga whetu e piataata i te rangi e (The bright stars that shine in the sky)
Nga whetu e piataata i te rangi e (The bright stars that shine in the sky)

Here is also a story of Matariki, can you hear out all the names of the stars?
