Matariki Storytime at the Howick Library

To enhance the children's learning of Matariki (Maori new year) we organised a trip to the Howick library for Matariki storytime. The children were talking about it all morning and after lunch we all loaded into the KCC vans and off we went.  When we arrived at the library, we were directed to the storytime area where we were sat down and greeted.  Mama Pepe and Tao special visitors from the Museum told us a story about a rat, octopus and shark which was very interesting, we then got to colour in our very own pictures of the rat and octopus and make our own hula skirts to do some hula dancing.  What a great way to spend the afternoon and a great learning opportunity, many thanks to the staff at Howick library for the invitation.
