𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗞𝗜 𝗔𝗥𝗧
In the last couple of weeks of Term 2, students, teachers and teacher aides worked hard to create some 𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜 artwork representing the stars of the Matariki constellation:
𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘵ī, 𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘵ā, 𝘛𝘶𝘱𝘶-ā-𝘯𝘶𝘬𝘶, 𝘛𝘶𝘱𝘶-ā-𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪, 𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘱𝘶𝘯𝘢-𝘢-𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪, 𝘜𝘳𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪, 𝘗𝘰𝘩𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘬𝘢𝘸𝘢, 𝘏𝘪𝘸𝘢-𝘪-𝘵𝘦-𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪, 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘬𝘪.
These were displayed for everyone to appreciate at our Matariki Celebration on Thursday 2nd July.

The students also worked together with their tuakana-teina classes (older students working with younger students) to make Matariki kites.
