Team Awa and Team Maunga had an awesome time at Waitangi for their Matariki Day. The weather wasn't very nice and the wind was fierce but the children were very enthusiastic.
The children took part in making kites from nikau palms. They had to weave each side of the stalk to make a manu wahine kite. The kites flew very well in the weather and the children enjoyed running and flying their kites.They also played traditional Maori games, before having a tug of war challenge - boys vs girls.
We were also treated to a performance by their Kapa Haka group which the children loved.
