Matariki - Papa Pura
Ko Matariki te timatanga o te tau
Ko Matariki te hurihanga o te tau
Ko Matariki he taonga toku iho
Ko Matariki he tohu kotahitanga e e e
Tuturu whakamaua kia tina TINA
Haumi e, hui e, taiki e
The beginning of the year
The changing of the seasons
A treasure to be passed down
A sign to be together
This is Matariki
Our whole school had a rotation around 6 activities to do with art, taonga and being together. At lunchtime we had a Hakari - feast to celebrate in the sharing of food. Matariki is a time to share stories, be together and pass on traditions. Every year we learn about what this means and reflect on how it feels to remember our culture in this way.
A fun day! Thanks Mrs McPherson for organising our groups! Thanks all the teachers for fun activities to help us learn by doing!
