We learnt that Matariki can be celebrated by getting together with friends and whanau to share stories, skills and kai - so Room 8 decided to do just that! We invited our buddy class Room 13 to come and join us for a some Matariki fun.
In the morning we put our reading and maths skills to use by following a recipe to make pikelets.
When our buddy class arrived in the middle block, we learnt how to sing Tirama Tirama - the Maori version of Twinkle Twinkle. Then we blessed the kai before going outside to eat it in the beautiful sunshine.
After that we spent time reading our buddy the story Matariki Breakfast and sharing the story of the Seven Sisters which we had retold in the form of a story board.
Finally, we finished of by teaching our buddy how to make an origami star which we then decorated.
What a wonderful time we had sharing and learning with our friends from Room 13.
