This month Ōpōtiki Kindergarten celebrated Matariki by having a shared breakfast with our whānau.  Our tamariki and staff came along to Kindergarten dressed in our pyjamas and enjoyed a nice warm breakfast, and the tamariki were able to have some soup for lunch that they had help to prepare by peeling all the vegetables and growing the pumpkin from last year’s seeds.

Later on that day the tamariki also helped out by doing some planting of new vegetables and herbs in our māra with Aunty Ri.  This was a great learning experience for our new tamariki.
