Matariki

We had two special visitors come to visit us yesterday, Whetu and Marama. Whetu is Bobby's Mum and Marama is his Nana.
They shared their knowledge and experiences around Matariki, specifically those from the Ngati Toa iwi. Whetu and Marama serenaded us with an original song from an aunty and Tirama Tirama. We received a koha from Bobby's whanau of fruit, pens and balls. The children of Rimu Rima took one piece home yesterday for afternoon tea and this morning we'll sit down and share another piece of kai. 
We can't wait to learn more about Matariki over the next week or two!
