This week has been absolutely FANTASTIC! Silverdale has certainly celebrated Matariki in style. We have had kite making, shared breakfasts, stories by the fire, soup making and slurping, ki-o-rahi, star art, scavenger hunts, story writing, reflecting, goal setting, mara kai (vegetable garden) preparing, matariki maths...and it's not even the end of the week! It has been wonderful to see all kaiako and tamariki celebrating this special time of year.

We hope you can find time to celebrate and maybe begin some new traditions for matariki as a whānau this weekend.
