On Wednesday 1st July we had Matariki as a whole school.
The Hangi
For the Hangi people were there early in the morning to help dig the hole and start the fire. At 1:30 pm and they cut it up to eat.
There was Chicken, Lamb, Pumpkin and Kumara. There was lots of leftovers to take home. I helpe by escorting children to the eating area and packing it up after by putting tables away and cleaning out the buckets which I never got around too.
The Activities
We had lots of activities to do but Rooms 1 and 3 stayed at one activity to run it.
The activity I was at was making Kites. You need to have wood, string, tablecloth, tape and some decorations for the tail and a piece of wood or plastic to wrap the string around so it doesn't fly away.
Some of the other activities were Paper Lanterns, Can Lanterns and Putiputi to name a few. I was in room 5 and next door was Alana making paper lanterns.
