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.
