Have you heard about Matariki?
We have been celebrating Matariki at Kindergarten this week as we welcome in the Maori New year. Every year in June you are able to see the seven stars of Matariki in the night sky, marking the beginning of the Maori year. We will be holding celebrations and discussions with the children during the month of June through stories, waiata, and Maori legends.
We encourage you to search the night sky, on these lovely clear frosty nights, with your children, and find the cluster of stars...often known as 'The Seven Sisters of Matariki'...Let us know how you go!!
Have you got any ideas how we can celebrate this special occasion as a Kindergarten group?? We would love to hear from you so leave a comment and let us know.
And we can't forget to mention the other important event that happened during the week...
A BIG Happy 50th Birthday to Judy!! You don't look a day over 21!!
Have a great weekend, keep warm,
Kylie, Judy and Ginny!!
