We have been celebrating this awesome event through our group time at playgroup and music group.
As we did our weaving with natural materials, we talked about the role that the stars play and how they can be used to tell us when to harvest our crops. We talked about if the stars were bright next seasons crops would be plentiful because it would be warmer.
As tamariki worked with their own creations, we were able to talk about Matariki. We shared the lovely wisdom of this celebration and what this was about – how Matariki means the eyes of God and by flying kites/pākau. Flying kites was seen as a way for them to reach out to the Gods.
We talked about the cluster of stars and the celebrations in the community for Māori New Year as the tamariki manipulated their ow created star mobiles while other had fun with black starry playdough.

We’re really glad Upper Hutt’s Cannon Point Walkway is now open.

This is one of Upper Hutt’s most popular bush tracks, starting from Tulsa Park in Totara Park and heading up the hill via the zig- zag to the trig. It’s also one of the main walking access routes into Akatarawa Forest so respect all signage as some of the walk is on private land.
No dogs are allowed due to farming and people should also watch out for vehicles, logging trucks and mountain bikers, although with 15,000 hectares in this park there is plenty of room for everyone.

The move comes after much public debate on the appropriateness of firearms being brought into schools, including when soldiers taught children as young as nine how to assemble and shoot assault rifles at a leadership exercise in Palmerston North last year. However students can still use firearms as part of shooting clubs and competitions. Click here to read the full article and guidelines.
So what do you think of the new rules? Are you for or against them?

Hi All
My husband has an old set of golf clubs, bag, and a trundler to give away - nothing flash, but a full set, around twenty years old. Might be good for a beginner to have a go with, rather than spending money to start. RH Male 5foot8 to 6foot would suit. Have been sitting in garage for past … View moreHi All
My husband has an old set of golf clubs, bag, and a trundler to give away - nothing flash, but a full set, around twenty years old. Might be good for a beginner to have a go with, rather than spending money to start. RH Male 5foot8 to 6foot would suit. Have been sitting in garage for past couple of years, so will no doubt need a clean-up and may have a little rust? PM if interested.
My husband hurt his back and cant finish off digging out the rest of the holes for a deck extension. So we need someone with a spare time during the week to finish off what he started (about 8-9 holes).
Neg $$$$
Please no time wasters and need someone fit and reliable.
