🌟 Matariki Celebrations at Active Explorers Lower Hutt 🌟
This week we have loved celebrating Matariki together at the Centre. Our tamariki have been busy creating beautiful Matariki-inspired art, planting, baking, singing waiata, and listening to pukapuka about Matariki. We also enjoyed a special whānau event on Tuesday, bringing our community together to reflect, celebrate, and look ahead. Wishing all our whānau a wonderful Matariki long weekend filled with connection, remembrance, and joy.

🌟 Ngā Whakanuitanga o Matariki ki Active Explorers Lower Hutt 🌟
I tēnei wiki kua harikoa mātou ki te whakanui i a Matariki ki te pūtahi. Kua pukumahi ā mātou tamariki ki te waihanga toi mō Matariki, te whakatō tipu, te tunu kai, te waiata waiata, me te whakarongo ki ngā pukapuka e pā ana ki a Matariki. I tū hoki tā mātou hui whānau motuhake i te Rātū, hei whakakotahi i tō mātou hapori ki te whakaaro huritao, ki te whakanui, ā, ki te titiro whakamua. E mihi ana mātou ki ngā whānau katoa, kia pai, kia haumaru hoki tō koutou mutunga wiki roa o Matariki, kī tonu i te aroha, te maumahara, me te hari. ✨🌿💙
