Matariki Day

Last week Thursday was the day some of our parents and grandparents came in for our Matariki Day. For our Matariki day, we had the parents/grandparents come in and see the different types of work that we have done for the past term. On Matariki the parents/grandparents also had the chance to have some of the takakau and tuna that some of the students in our school had made for this occasion (I will talk more about this in a different blog post). After Morning Tea the whole school and the parents had to go across the road because all the syndicates and the kapa haka groups performed for them. The performances schedule went, Junior syndicate, Middle syndicate, Senior Syndicate, Te Mana Tamariki, and last but not least Te Rau Pou Manawa. For these groups some each group either had 3 or 4 items. To end of the day we had a hangi which was prepared but Nga Rau Puawai & Nga Rau Rangatira. It was a really lovely day with the parents, and the food was amazing. 

Big thank you to NRP (Nga Rau Puawai ) and NRR (Nga Rau Rangatira/chiefs) for preparing the hangi :)
