Last week we celebrated Matariki at Nelson Central School.  Matariki is the celebration of the Maori New Year.  In Kahikatea we rotated around special Matariki activities.  These included weaving, knuckle bones, traditional Maori games with Sally, rakau and string games.  Each class also created a special piece of art.  In Room 5 we made a collaborative piece of art to depict the story of the Seven Star Fishes.  On Friday we had a special Matariki assembly where we sung songs and some Room 6 students shared their pepiha.  We ended our special celebrations with shared kai.
