Professor Adelia stood at the desk, waiting for the students to enter the classroom. Once they did, she addressed them. “Welcome to your last lesson before exams. Tonight, we’ll be learning something a little different. This won’t be on your exam, but it is some good general knowledge. No doubt, if you live in New Zealand, you’ll be aware of the Matariki public holiday. It happens towards the end of June and signals the new year for Māori. You might know the cluster of stars by the name used in English, which is the Pleiades. It is a time of celebration but also of remembering those who have passed on. Anyway, Matariki heralds the time when those stars seemingly emerge above the horizon. I’d highly encourage you to observe the star cluster as it rises.”
Professor Adelia hoped they would. She then shifted the subject. “I’d encourage you to spend the rest of your time studying, either here or at the library. Exams are coming up after all.”
“If you have any questions, come to me, otherwise – study, and I’m sure you’ll do well.” She gave them all an encouraging smile and then took her seat to supervise the lesson.
