M is for Matariki

We have had a great week sharing and learning about Matariki this week.  Matariki is the Maori New Year.  We shared a great book and the children did some lovely writing.

We have had lots of nice activities around Matariki

We made fish kites.

We made fairy bread in the shape of stars so we could share kai.

We did star art.

We made tiki necklaces.

We were creative with sparkly playdough.

We did weaving.

We enjoyed seeing pictures and learning about how Deandra's family celebrate the the Sri Lankan New Year.
