Celebrating Matariki

We are thrilled to have our families come and share their talents as we celebrate Matariki-Māori New  

Year this month (June). 

We  discovered that Brent (Riley's Dad) could weave and we asked him where did he learn how he learnt such special art work.  He replied that he had played around with the flax and taught himself!

When he began to manipulate the flax Jackson joined him. We  noticed Brent sitting back to let Jackson have a go and quietly gave him verbal instructions when needed.  "True eloquence consists of saying all that should be said, and that only"  F de la Rochefoucauld. 

        

The children commented on the weaved whāriki, "Its a rectangle with lots of squares!"  

Kia ora Brent. We enjoyed and treasure the time you were able to have with us.  We celebrate  interdependence between children, and their families,  and the community and continually  support this in the Kindergarten.
