Matariki Whanau Celebration

Last Thursday Paihia School held a Matariki Celebration Day. At 6 in the morning some kids went down to the beach to see the Matariki Stars. Then they went back to school for breakfast. There were lots of fun activities planned for us. We did Family art, which is sketches of koru and kowhaiwhai patterns that represented a member of our family. We played games like Maui Matou and Rakau with Harko Brown. We planted shrubs and plants around the pump track for our bird corridor. After that we had a giant shared lunch outside the whare. There were cakes, biscuits, wraps, sandwiches and chips piled on the long, white tables. The food was AMAZING! That day was most definitely the best.
