Each winter the stars of Matariki and Puanga signal the end of one year in Aotearoa and the beginning of the next. Traditionally Maori have recognised the rise of Matariki as a time to celebrate and prepare for the indigenous New Year.

In class we learnt about Matariki through a range of activities including Maths, Reading Journal Articles, Myths and Art, and Room 9 had a planting day.

The Matariki celebrations were concluded with a fabulous Hangi. Thanks to all our volunteers who helped it be a huge success!
