In celebration of Matariki in the holidays, our kura hosted a number of events the final week of term. The arrival of Matariki signals that it is time for people to gather, honour the dead, celebrate the present, and make plans for the future. The whet\u016b (stars) in the Matariki cluster each hold different meanings and our events were tied to these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our week of activities included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2b50\ufe0f Kaitiakitanga led by Maunga Wh\u0101nau to maintain our native plants around the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2b50\ufe0f Ngahere Wh\u0101nau led a harakeke workshop for students to learn how to weave whet\u016b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2b50\ufe0f We had a remembrance board in the library for students to write names\/notes to their loved ones who had passed away, in memory of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2b50\ufe0f Wai Wh\u0101nau organised a clean-up of our local awa\/stream in our school ngahere (forest).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2b50\ufe0f Students and kaiako had delicious hangi to enjoy for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2b50\ufe0f We had p\u0101kau\/kite flying at morning tea, hosted by Takutai Wh\u0101nau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
