It’s been an exciting month of Matariki celebrations! Children participated in various activities whereby they did koru painting, weaving and made matariki stars, lanterns and kites.  We had the joy of celebrating Matariki and the grand finale was a yummy feast held at the Centre. Thank you to the whanau for sending vegetables for the feast. All the activities aim to raise the children’s awareness of Matariki, the Māori New Year – a significant festival celebrated throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.
