Matariki

We have been celebrating Matariki in Totara 2. One of the school wide tasks was to choose one of the 9 Matariki stars and create a banner representing that star. We chose Waita as our star. Waita is the star that represents the ocean and all of the food sources that are found in the ocean. We decided to create a fun Nemo theme. Ella led the way and managed this project. Thanks for all your hard work Ella, we couldn't have done it without you! Come into school to see all of the classes banners which are being hung around the school!

  1. Kia ora Totara 2,
    I have had lots of fun and learning over the last few days checking out class blogs and reading about what everyone is doing to celebrate Matariki. I really love your art work and can imagine your banners look amazing hanging around the school. Waita and the food source of the ocean would have been very important for our ancestors as they relied lots of the ocean for kai moana. Did you have a special Matariki celebration at Grey Main School?

    I am from Panmure Bridge School. I really enjoyed looking at your new banner. My favorite part of it was Dory and Nemo. Swimming
