Celebrating Matariki

Kereru Class celebrated Matariki today by making soup and bread. In traditional times, Matariki was a season to celebrate and to prepare the ground for the coming year.
Students also put on a Matariki play 'Tane me te Whanau Marama'. Others made flax stars to represent the seven sisters while other students created a poster of the Matariki constellation.
BIG thank you to Katie's Mum (Steph) for helping out with the chopping and bread watching and also thanks to Na (Elizabeth) for the fabulously easy and delicious bread recipe!
