Today, Worser Bay School have been getting their hands dirty in preparation for our Matariki celebration tomorrow.
Suz talked to us about the different Matariki stars and what they are kaitiaki of. Tupuanuku is the kaitiaki of the food that grows in the ground, Tupuarangi is the kaitiaki of the forests and birds, Waiti is the kaitiaki of the freshwater animals and waita is the kaitiaki of the sea water animals. This is why we have vegetables grown from the ground, seafood and chicken in our hangi. It is said that the steam from cooking the food feeds the Matariki stars.
Remember the Matariki Celebration, with a BYO lunch and a nibble of the kai prepared today, starts at 12.50pm to 1.40pm. Students will still need to bring their own lunch as there isn't enough veges to fill all their bellies!
Many of us learnt a new skill, how to peel vegetables! Now they definitely can't use the excuse of they don't know how to when you ask them to help with dinner!
