Matariki Celebration 🌟
Our Matariki celebration was a wonderful opportunity for tamariki, whānau, and kaiako to come together. Kaiako set up a beautiful vegetable activity and invited whānau to contribute fresh vegetables for a special Matariki soup. We are grateful for the generous support from our whānau, whose contributions helped make this experience meaningful. Tamariki enjoyed exploring and preparing the vegetables, learning about healthy food, sharing, and working together. The celebration was made even more special with our tamariki's spectacular Matariki performance, bringing smiles and joy to everyone. It was a memorable day of celebrating togetherness, culture, and community. Tamariki developed an appreciation for Matariki through cultural experiences, teamwork, healthy eating, and the importance of sharing and contributing to their community. 🌿✨
