This week we celebrated Matariki, the Maori New Year at Nelson Central School. On Thursday as a syndicate we shared kai together.
Today Te Pouahi cooked a hangi that some of us enjoyed. We enjoyed watching the hangi being lifted and were amazed at how many layers there were on top of the food.
As a syndicate we also enjoyed moving from class to class to participate in a range of Matariki related activities. This afternoon we had a special whole school Matariki assembly. The Kahikatea syndicate sung the waiata Purei Nei at it.
Happy Matariki from Room 5!
