Celebrating Matariki in Pitau 2!

There was a lot of excitement on the last Friday of term 2 when we welcomed our whanau (family) into our classroom to celebrate the Maori New Year with a Matariki breakfast! Our room was filled with parents and children all working together to prepare for a spectacular feast! A huge thank you to everyone for your donations of kai (food), your company and time to show our tamariki the importance of working together to celebrate this special occasion. A great conclusion to our learning around the Matariki New Year!








But wait! Theres more...

The grand finale to our day of celebrating Matariki was an afternoon spent flying our kites that we made as part of our learning around how Matariki is celebrated. We were thrilled to be joined by our friends from Team Pitau and Team Kakano. What a spectacular display of laughter, creativity, energy and tangling that filled our school that cloudy afternoon.
