Matariki

Our Matariki celebrations took place on Thursday 16^th June and involved the whole school.  We all gathered together in the school hall for a special assembly.  We watched a video clip about the importance of Matariki and the Kapa Haka group gave a wonderful performance..   Then children throughout the school were cross grouped into activity groups.  In Rooms 1/2 we made a kakahu out of paper feathers and a koru circular pattern.  In Room 3 the children learnt about the story of the Battle of the Mountains and made their own mountain designs.  In Room 4 they learnt how to weave and made woven flowers out of flax.
