Matariki Celebrations

This week we were busy little bees ,preparing for our Matariki Celebration. The school held an amazing night where we ate lovely hangi , prepared and served by students and an awesome performance by the Kapa Haka group.
Our job was to help decorate the hall. Together with Room 6 , we made salt dough stars and decorated feathers that we put together to make a mini cloak. Mrs Williams was in Room 6 and read a cool story about little kiwi and matariki.
It was an awesome night and great to see some students from Room 5 with their whanau there on the night.

Planting Mrs Hunt's tree.

Today we planted a very special tree. This tree was given to us by Mrs Hunt who taught at Stanley Avenue school for a number of years. This tree is growing to grow really big and give us a lot of shade for us to eat our lunch under.

Next week we will be planting some lovely little plants to go underneath the tree, so stay tuned.
