Matariki Workshops @ South Learning Centre

This week Year 2 took it in turns to have some workshops at The South Learning Centre. We learnt about the Maori New Year Celebration of Matariki! 

After we explored what it means for New Zealand, we looked at the same celebration around the world. 

Then we drew the stars of Matariki on the ipads.  When we had finished we published them onto the big screen to share! 

After that we had a quiz to see if we could remember some facts.

Next we made some Porotiti using Maori symbols and string. 

Finally we read a story and then walked back to Thorrington School.

What a great day!
