Tēnā koutou Parents, Whānau and Caregivers
Nau mai haere mai ki te Matariki Hangi 2018
This is both to notify and formally invite you all to our school’s Matariki hangi next Friday, 15th June. The day will run as follows, and note that times are approximate:
5:30am - hangi fire lit (we have a team to do this!)
9:00am - food goes into the hangi pit
8.45am - unveiling ceremony of the tukutuku panel made by the students at the Marae Noho
- performance from Te Roopu Kapa Haka, our kapa haka group
12:30pm - hangi lifted
12:45 - 1:00pm - we all eat together!
We are asking our families to each contribute a small portion of food each. Suggested contributions are:
Rooms 1 and 2 - potatoes and kumara
Room 3 - ingredients for stuffing (onions, bread, Thyme, mixed vege)
Rooms 4 and 5 - Chicken drumsticks
This is a guideline only (for example, a family from Room 1 may have access to meat), and please contribute as much as you feel comfortable. We need all food in at school by Wednesday at the latest, so that we can see how much we have, and arrange to make up any shortfalls. The children will all prepare the food together during the day on Thursday, please provide a named potato peeler for your child if possible, and you are welcome to come in and help out if you wish. We will be feeding 150+ people so there’s going to be a lot of peeling. Hangi baskets, wood, stones and cloth have all been organised and will be at school, and the senior students will dig the hangi pit between Monday and Wednesday. We will post updates on the school’s Facebook page, in our newsletter and on the school app as things progress, so please do check in from time to time. Thank you for your attention, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
