After the opening of the Waharoa this morning, which was a very moving ceremony, the students in room 4 participated in kite making, flax weaving and Matariki art work. They all had a great time and enjoyed the day of fun and creativity. These creative Matariki activities are part of our week long celebrations to celebrate Maori New Year. It was a very proud moment today seeing the students of Tairua Primary school do the Haka and sing the school song as part of the Waharoa celebration.

On Tuesday for Matariki week we did a rotation of Maori activities which were flax weaving, bread making, poi making [for the girls], a haka [for the boys] and we learnt the school waiata which was written especially for our wonderful school. The students all enjoyed the activities and learning about different Maori cultures. On Thursday we had a delicious hangi for lunch. We learnt about the process of how a hangi is made and were excited to watch the baskets being taken out of the ground when it was time to eat. We also had the Thames Kapahaka group come and perform which was great to watch.Thank you for all the food for the hangi and helping organise the activities and digging the hole for the hangi, it was certainly an excellent Matariki week!
