Today our whole school celebrated Matariki, the Maori New Year. We started with a school assembly. Students from Room 2 were part of the performances - John and Sione on guitar and Nevaeh and Nina as part of the choir singing the Matariki song from Rahera Davies.
From L to R: Pisirina, John, Nevaeh, Kitione, Nina, John, Eternity and Sione
After assembly we split into different groups across the school - in Room 2 with the help of Miss Vili, our group used paper, glue, wool and cardboard to make star cards to represent Matariki and her six daughters, Tupu-ā-nuku, Tupu-ā-rangi, Waipunarangi, Waitī and Waitā, and Ururangi.
Check out the artwork that Valessa and Kauri made using pastels in their workshop session with Mr Goodwin.

What did/will you and your class/school do to celebrate Matariki this year?
Kia ora Avryl,
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by our class blog! Most of the students did some kind of craft project so lots of opportunities to get creative. What did you do at your school for Matariki?
Hello Room 2 my name is Faiana from Glen Taylor School. I really love your Matariki art. And also it's great to see you guys celebrate Matariki as a whole school. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteKia ora Selena, We had a lot of fun on our Matariki Day. It got a bit messy with wool and coloured paper all over the floor but it was worth it.
