Week 7 Term Two

Here is a photo of our famous marble run - I am sure you've heard all about it! It is made up of  (so far!) 13 inclined planes. The marbles play a tune as they skip along the xylophone on their exit from the run! There are plans to make this even more impressive - stay tuned!

Matariki 

Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars also known as the Pleiades. It rises in mid-winter – late May or early June. For many Māori, it heralds the start of a new year. Matariki literally means the 'eyes of god' (mata ariki) or 'little eyes' (mata riki). In New Zealand, it is like a little Thanksgiving. Today Abhi, Aimee and Christine harvested some harakeke with Whaea Ruth. The harakeke symbolises whanau, and the children created stars and have described their families within them :)

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
