Totara Whanau having been learning different kinds of Matariki. For Matariki I went to the huge hall and made a big kite made out of 2 types of flax and white grass plumed sticks.
Matariki is a Maori traditional culture where people do kapa haka, art and loads of different things.
Some nights Matariki gets celebrated in some parks like Cornwall Park, Queens Park and other sorts of parks. When you go and celebrate Matariki you will see all sorts of little shops ( in a tent or a caravan) when they sell chips, hot dogs, glow in the dark things (necklace, ring or hair piece).
2 days ago Parkvale school had been spending a whole day doing Matariki. There were different activities like sewing, making kites, cooking ( just for me jokes!!!! just kidding) and a hole heap of things. It was time for morning tea and me and my team mates had finished making the kite. Everybody was proud of there work (even though some teams weren't finished but they were still proud of there hard work) For sewing there was a group of creative artist sewing a Marae on a thin black piece of fabric, another heap of creative artist made a kite with bambillo sticks, different types of harakeke (flax) and white grass plumed sticks.
I had so much fun doing Matariki with parent helpers and with out hub. When we were making the kites we were next to the kitchen and we could smell another group of Totara cooking delicious fish pie and divine fry-bread
Thanks for reading my blog post and thanks for the parent helpers that helped us on the day we did Matariki activities.
