We had a wonderful time visiting Te Papa yesterday to learn more about Matariki. Thank you to all of our parent support! 

Celebrating Matariki

We had a great time celebrating Matariki by flying our kites on the beach with our families.

Let's Go Fly A Kite

We have made our own kites to fly. We have been designing kites that have members of our family on them. We went outside to see how they fly...

Matariki Stars

Today we made some stars for Matariki. We had to follow instructions about folding and glueing.

Have a look at them on the windows.

Tomorrow we are going to try to write instructions to explain how we made them.

We are learning how to weave for our Matariki celebrations.
