Activities

At our Kuranda the Whanau came out at 6. 30 in the morning to gather/ stand and share at Island Bay beach to view Matariki. We had a share Karakia, a guest speaker who gave a talk about the stars, early navigation and about Matariki practices and we had some time to reflect on the year gone by and to set a Whanau goal for this next year. It was a gathering of over 100 people and shows the community getting together. Then we had shared breakfast at school. Where about 200 came for a Matariki shared breakfast/ Parakuihi.

I did a karakia and a waiata with the children and we said the date and had a game of naming things in the classroom. Then all my 24 children did their mihimhi on seesaw and sent it to their parents. We have done lots of korero, kemu me waiat a ringi holki.

As a citizen of a country with dual languages, I'd like to develop my te reo Māori to feel confident to use it and teach others.
