Matariki Celebrations

What a fantastic way to finish our Matariki celebrations.

Jason from the Kaiapoi Public Library came along to our hubs.

We sang songs

and listened to a story.

We watched puppet theatre.

Then we created 

our own Matariki stars.

Celebrating Matariki

Over the last two weeks we have been learning a lot about Matariki.

On Friday, the Akeake Team got together to share our learning, watch our yr 3/4 Kapahaka perform and to share some kai.  

We had made some yummy star biscuit and we decorated them especially for Matariki.  

We have had lots of fun with our new learning and we are looking forward to doing it again next year!

We got 2 star cookies each and we worked in groups to decorate them.

We carefully put icing and sprinkles on our stars.

And the we got to eat them.  They were delicious!
