On Tuesday the Maori Enrichment children went on a trip to the museum to learn about Matariki. Matariki is the Maori New Year. It signifies the beginning of winter and is a time of harvest and celebration. The children learnt some Maori games that keep the tinana (body), ngakau (heart) and roro (brain) active and healthy. They also made some Porotiti (a spinning wind instrument) and a koruru (a mask face). If you wake up early (really early) on Saturday morning you will see the 7 stars of Matariki in the sky!
Kia ora! Welcome to Room 16's blog. We are a Year 3 class at Elm Park School in Pakuranga, Auckland, New Zealand. We are very new to blogging and for many of us this is our first ever blog. We are looking forward to sharing our thinking and learning with you over the next year!
