My daughter's day care held a shared kai for dinner. The children had painted big pictures featuring all the stars of Matariki and their stories. They had decorated other stars with their wishes for the year ahead. The families were invited to bring an ingredient for soup, and on the day the tamariki and kaiako made yummy soup and fry bread for everyone to share. After kai the children played outside in the dark playground with lanterns and torches and listened to a karakia. It was a beautiful clear night and the stars were shining in the sky.
