Matariki Ukulele @ Hoon Hay Te Kura Kōaka by Jacqui Crowley

Matariki Celebrations

On Wednesday we celebrated Matariki with a shared breakfast and a Wananga in the afternoon. One of the activities was Ukulele, where children learnt new skills and waiata. With learning just one chord, it is possible to sing many songs while learning about beat, rhythm, and melody. Well done tamariki! 

Thank you everyone who provided a shared plate for the brekkie and for coming along to celebrate with us.
