Matariki Whanau Day 2016

On Friday the 10th of June we had a Matariki Whanau day at Paihia School. In Room Zero we used harakeke to weave, ate waffles for breakfast, watched Matariki stories on our active board, made Matariki star art (with crayon, dye and glitter) and made duck Quackers with flax. Thank you to all of our Whanau for their help on the day and our Whaea Nancy for her weaving lessons. Please check out our slide show below.

I like Matariki because there are lots of stars. I ate waffles and popcorn and we watched Matariki stories on you tube. Our weaving was before that.

I was sad when I was at Matariki. Because I am always tired on long days. We ate ham sandwiches, I love ham sandwiches.

Our Waitangi trip writing.

I did like my Dad. I was the next boss and I was surprised when we went to Waitangi.
By Te Hauata

I was at Te Hauata's Dad's whare. I put my hand up and then I said "do the maori designs and people of the maori designs come to life at night time?" Te Hauata's Dad said "that was a very good question." Te Hauata's Dad said they are alive in the daytime because we feel them.

I liked Te Hauata's whare and it was fun. I saw big, giant designs. Te Hauata's Dad gave us a big talk.
